intake and your skimmer should be on the left and your pump should sit on the bottom of the right chamber

thanks sign soo my diagram looks good so i need the CPR OverflowBox and a mag 9.5. So the cpr goes on top of left side to pump the water to the sump and the mag goes in the right compartment in the sump to push the water back to the tank right

correct. btw the diagram looks good. all a overflow box is is just a box that straddles the back of your tank and siphons water down to the sump it will ( through the laws of gravity ) siphone the same amount of water out of the tank as being pumped into it as long as your over flow box is built to handle it

you will need to call a glass company to have them cut it for you. Id offer 20 bucks so they dont try to rip you off
