Sump for a 29 Tall?

[WildFoxMedia]

Currently in the process of putting together a 29 tall and I'm wondering if I need to have a sump or not. I realize the more water the better, but do you guys feel its necessary?

If it is necessary, I guess I will try to add an external overflow with a rectangular slot cut out of the back of the tank.

Thanks

if your capable of doing all this from scratch, i'd go with another 29g for the sump,

So assumping I went and added a sump - What kind of overflow would you guys reccomend?

Right now im looking at an external overflow with a rectangular slot cut into the back of the tank. The other options are doing an internal overflow in one of the corners and running a 1.5" bulkhead out of the back.

Any opinions?

why would you cut your aquarium???? external overflows are HOB (hang on back)

Im talking an external overflow made up of a glass box siliconed to the back with a bulkhead in the bottom of it
