I have one inch holes in each of the back corners. one with an elbow to suck water down to sump and one with fittings to an adjustable torpedo for nice movement!

You'll still need an overflow, but you can go without the siphon-style overflow.

You'll need an overflow box or stand. I'd recommend a kit. Definitely measure twice, cut once as I bought an overflow box on ebay, but misjudged the height. So, I ended up doing mods.

btw, you might be able to re-use your siphon box with a bulkhead fitting and some tools. It depends on what you currently have.
