Any suggestions on what/where do I get to build an internal overflow box for my side drilled 30G tank? I was thinking of an acrylic box that I'd drill and insert in the bulkhead, but don't want to build the box myself. Thanks!

I was thinking of cutting a Lee's speciman container for a small box to fit around a bulkhead in my 10 gallon.

Walmart sells clear cylindrical acrylic containers for food storage. I think they are called Food Savers or something like that. I bought one and cut it half to use. I has about 8" of lip and works great. I didn't cut any teeth into it but that has caused no problems - the snails can come and go as they please, and sometimes a fish will end up inside but they usually learn to avoid it after a tumultuous night :).
