Sounds good, look forward to seeing the tank come together. I would have to strongly recommend that while the tank is still at the manufacturer you have them do the drilling and install the internal overflows. You may not think the added cost is worth it right now, but I guarantee you that you will wish you had within 6 months of setting the tank up with hang on style overflow.

Good idea Adam
