Where to Drill for Overflow??

[toy4x4]

What are some of the prefered ways of setting up a overflow in the tank. I'm probably going to have my tank drilled next week and am now researching where I really want it drilled.

Any links to pictures/ideas would be appreciated. I've search and read through a bunch here, there is just soooo much, I don't know what's best or even where to start.

You sure your glass is not tempered?

Bottom Yes, sides no.

I'm in the process of drilling and building my overflow for my tank right now. I'm gona be using a Durso standpipe setup draining out the lower back of the aquarium instead of the bottom. Since ur bottom is tempered, you shouldn't drill there either.

if u want you can look up durso standpipe on google if you haven't already

I think the idea of having it drilled out the back is a good one. Very clean design...
