Help with RefugiumSump

[saltnewb]

I want to install a refugiumsump under my 55gallon tank, but I can't drill any holes for bulkheads in the glass. Anyone have a good resource for information, I might build my own or by an acrylic kit. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated because I don't know much about them. I want one to control the algae outbreaks in my tank by removing phosphates and other algae foods.

Search for overflow. Its an easy way to get the water out to the sump.
As far as what to do with your sump/fuge this is the diagram I used to create mine. I forget who originally posted this...

I used a 55 gallon tank, made the baffles from sheets of acrylic and held them in place with aquarium silicone.
