The holes in the overflow accept 1.5 " bulkheads. I can't speak to whether or not it is expensive. This is the largest tank I've ever had. Polished and beveled edges, 15 mm glass. Is it Elos perfect?...

Could you set up one of the overflows for a full syphon with a gate valve at the sump and the other as a back up? Sort of like split Herbie? That way air is not being sucked into the drains?

Almost did. But then I'd want 72x30x30. I had a hard enough time with my original tank at 24 deep! I'm definitely going with some of what I liked and didn't. Aquascape, everything.

Is the tank already built? If it is then I would definitely go with the Synergy. Very clean design. You will have to make your own holes though.
