Depends on the size of your plumbing.
You need to be able to fit the elbows (if you are doing a bean animal).
So i would just make some measurements. My old one was around 5" square.

My new one is a "ghost" style overflow where the inner coast to coast box is pretty thin.
Then three holes are drilled in the tank, allowing the water to flow from the inner box to a smaller but deeper outer box where the elbows and drains are located. Three 2" Sch 80 bulkheads hold it all together.
