Hey guys thanks to the help on the other post and since I found a solution for that I wanted to know tips and advice for how to drill a hole in my tank and what overflow box should I get? And what sump should I get for it.
How to drill hole in tank??? Also with a external overflow where do you place the returns?

There are lots of videos on YouTube on how to drill a tank. I watched several before I tried.
I got the eshopps overflow, which came with the drill bit needed to drill the glass.
the sump size is limited by the cabinet size. So it depends how big is the main tank and how big is the cabinet.

I used modular marine most overflows that require drilling come with the appropriate drill bit just go slow run water over the bit and tape the side that falls so it doesn’t crack away from the drill bit. For returns figure out your return flow and make sure you have the appropriate size tubing. You will need a different drill bit for whichever size bulkhead you are drilling for. I think BRS tells you the size but you need based on your bulkhead. I used a thread slip bulkhead (I think) and then locking fittings for the return.
