Where can I get a overflow?

[pokdbz]

I was wondering where I can get an overflow and other parts that go with it because I am going to be building my own sump. I checked on the All glass website and they don't sell it on there sight. Do you know where I can get one or a similar setup. I would like to get a package deal with other thing in it too. Here is a picture of one that all-glass has up on there sight.

Are you talking about and overflow box (hang on style), or is your tank already drilled and you're just looking to setup the overflow?

if your tank is pre-drilled like the picture, I would build or purchase the Durso online. That would take care of the left portion of the piping (water to sump). it would only cost about $20 and Durso helps a ton with noise! the right part (return line) you can make yourself - buy the parts at HD or Loews.
Don't make the same mistake I made. I bought the kit in the picture above for $55 from my LFS (ripped off) and then decided (by researching online) I better go with the Durso. I just had him make it... cost $26 and he sent it within a week.

I am going to drill the holes myself or take the tank to a glass shop, what would you suggest?
It is going to be a in tank overflow box. Do you know any places to buy the actual overflow box?
As for the left side of the picture, you said Durso where can I purchase that online?
Thanks for your help.

hmmm...
I originally bought a tank without any drilled holes. I brought it to a LFS, but the guy was cool and cautioned me against drilling at that point. It doesn't break too often, but there is a CHANCE of it happening. Then I'd be out of a tank - cause it would be my responsibility. What I did was swapped my original tank with the LFS reef-ready tank (AGA drilled in the factory) and then I paid the difference. got a good deal.
Now, I'm a little unsure of your situation and needs. If you drill the holes yourself or have the LFS do it, I'm not sure of how your piping would be...and how the Durso would fit into the equation. you'll need other help on this one.
You don't NEED to drill your tank...you could always have a hang-on overflow box. I never needed this, so I couldn't help you on where to go. I do know that I've read a lot of posts here and if you do a search, they could help you out on it. With these boxes, I'm sure you can implement the Durso standpipe (I'm sure I've seen pictures here).
I guess I'm just more familiar with my setup...the corner overflow.
but, here's durso's website...go to Durso STANDPIPE
