They are a little bit pricey, but IMO well worth it. I have one on my 75. Have had it for about 4 years now and it is working perfectly.

If you decide to go cheaper, at least make sure you get a "U tube" type.

they didnt really have what i am looking for. i want the piece that is siliconed to the tank the part that the stand pipe thing goes in.

Oh, I am sorry, I skimmed your post and missed the part about drilling it.

I can't help you but am looking for the exact same thing so i'll follow along. Maybe contact All Glass to see if they'll sell you a Megaflow oveflow without the tank

You cant drill the bottom. You drill the back. Since the hole is in the back, you use a different type of overflow box.

i guess i could make a little box thing but i am new to cutting and siliconing glass. i dont want to do an external box i dont have the room to do that.

MRC makes overflows, Austin oceans also has over flows.
