does anyone have simple plans for a DIY overflow for my 55g reef? i want to make my 27g long a sump for my 55g, and i cant drill my 55g because its tempered glass.
also, any easy-to-understand links are appreciated

its pretty much like that video ed posted in the video section, one drill and the tank would literally explode.
its okay, i found a good page on overflows.

As long as you put the bulkhead in the side, where the glass in non tempered, its safe to drill.
I asked the same question a few months ago, and chrona linked me to an AWESOME site. Look in the saltwater section for it.
