    You can add a poll to your thread at the top right of the OP. Forgot which drop-down menu it is. I vote for two returns!

    Glass holes have a kit they sell where you can do this type of overflow if anyone isn't crafty.

    Yip, working with the router was tricky, one slip an it's a mess, will use a jig for sure on my next box...

    Very nice Job you did there.

    I designed one similar to bulk reef supply for my 200 gallon but since I went all black pvc and black silicone I decided not too make it
    Dims were 24" x 6" x 6".

    Sooo.... When are you going to build an acrylic big arse tank?
    I am soo down to help.Frankie
    When i can source acrylic that does not cost an arm and a leg...

    Good job on the acrylic work. I've used scrap pieces from Aeroshield Plastics that I've bought for like $5 for a 12"x48" piece on my overflow and other projects. As long as you don't need a piece wider than 12" you can get a great deal.
