75 gal overflow question

[B4tney]

So I am looking at a 75 gal tank, I am just wondering if it is a tempered bottom what options do i have for an overflow.

You could always just do a usual overflow that everyone does where you drill a hole on the back of the tank and build a small box for inside the tank out of acrylic. If you do a search in the DIY forum you'll get a bunch. I would stay away from the HOB overflows though just an FYI

It works, the elbows will slow the flow a little but shouldn't be any dramatic change.

I have a 75 with Glass-holes overflow, I love it because it is very low profile.

So John could I do it like my 30 gal tank but just on the side.

Yup. Just drill the back and use an elbow inside to go from the bulkhead to the standpipe.
