Here's some pics of the Oceanic 30 cube I just plumbed into my 75 gallon. I tried a couple of weeks ago with a 24 Nano Cube and the project blew up when I noticed a crack in the right top corner.
I brought the 30 gallon out to Rod at Rod's Reef to get it drilled. Two trips out to DeKalb in two weeks to get two separate tanks drilled, I don't recommend it. Rod was great and we got it done. I decided to go with two 1" holes for two separate durso's and one return from the main sump. Drilling went great, Rod is a real pro at this.
After building a horizontal overflow, I was ready to go.

This is embarassing but it works. I had a hard time connecting the two durso's and the plumbing turned out a little cockeyed. It's quiet and thats all I care about, I can adjust either durso's to whatever height I want the overflow and the overflow itself could probably take twice the flow I'm putting through it.

I used a wye with two ball valves to connect the Mag12 to both tanks, same one I had set up for the Nano Cube.
