Looks like an interesting build. I think someone mentioned it before but I too would drill that tank. You wont wanna deal with the overflow. Just make sure to to get some type of strainer there, you don't want macro getting into the plumbing.

Almost done with gluing the Pipes...

Got a Question do you think i can get away with this . The over flow box , output Bulkhead i don't want to glue it for easy removal. I put Teflon tape . what do you think ??

Some bulkheads are threaded inside and you can screw a fitting onto it using teflon tape. If the bulkhead you're using is a slip fitting, you need to prime and cement your pvc to it. Using teflon tape on a slip fitting is asking for huge problems.
