Where to buy In-Tank Overflow box?

I am building a 40Breeder setup and need to buy an In-Tank overflow box. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Mike

you could build your own or get one off of one of the sponser's sites or ebay, of course.

I have heard nothing but great things about the above mentioned site. Has anyone drilled a large tank? I have the possibility to buy a 120 but it's not reef ready. Wondering if I should have someone drill it. Sorry for the slight hijack.

As long as it's not tempered...no problem. Just go slow with lots of water and the drill on the lowest (or near lowest) torque setting. I used the drill bits from gl*******s.com to drill six holes in my 220. And friends have used them to drill numerous other tanks.

I drilled my 120..... I actually like it better than a reef ready because the overflow is up high in the tank and not taking up a lot of room like the RR tanks I've owned.
Drilling is easy, just gotta go slow.

You can make your own out of acrylic like I did very easy and cheap. Just heat the acrylic with a torch and bed over.
