acrylic work

I need some help/info

I have a 75g acrylic tank and want to drill the back for an overflow, a calfo design. I've been told that it isn't feasible to glue/solvent an overflow unto the back of acrylic tank with an acrylic overflow.
Is this true or any other ideas out there. I don't want to go with a HOB overflow. If not possible then I would just drill the bottom and go with a corner overflow.
Thanks

yes you can use weldon to put an acrylic sump on an acrylic tank.
