External Overflow


Hey guys- I'm planning on doing an external overflow for my 65...like an internal one, just on the inside; not a HOB overflow. So I was wondering if anyone has any links with instructions or tips, I wanna make sure I do it right. Thanks

is this for a glass or acrylic tank? acrylic would be much easier than glass.

i do not know how i would do this on a glass tank, and feel comfortable about it. i can give you some ideas, but i would be worried about stress on the glass. the only way i can think of doing it, would not be the prettiest, but am confident on its strength.

for an acrylic tank with eurobracing it would be easy, and a great mod.

You can go ahead and throw your ideas out there if you want, I'm open to whatever and then I'll decide on if I think it's doable.
