Hi everyone,

I picked up a new to me 210 gallon glass tank last week. It's 84"x24"x24", I intend on using it as a dividing wall between our living room and dinning area. The room is 21'x24' for what it's worth.

The tank is pretty old, P/O bought it with a reptile habitat in mind and never got around to it. It did previously house a turtle of some sort. With that said it needs to be resealed, P/O supplied 4 tube's of aquarium grade silicon with it.

I intend on drilling this tank, that leads me to the question I have for the brain trust here.
What is a solid reliable overflow?
I'm leaning towards a 4 outlet version of something. I'd like to plumb a UV sterilizer directly from the display. I'm recovering from a nine month long battle with dinos in my current 75 gal tank, it maybe paranoia.

Sorry for the book I'll try and keep it shorter with the next question/ update

When I was researching overflows I finally went with one from Modular Marine. It seems like a very solid, well built piece of equipment. I didn't get a chance to use it though after discovering the glass in my tank was tempered.

Post some pics as you go! :)

Thanks Dave, I'll check them out.

I'm going to find out the hard way if the tank is tempered. There's no stickers that say do not drill.

Here's a few pictures of the tank. We're at the beginning of our county fair, so I have time to research stuff, but no time to work on it!
