Hello,

The total length would be your length of the overflow x1 and your depth x2.

so an 8x5 oveflow would be 18" of actual surface skimming.

But i couldnt say it would be 5" in depth because i was unsure of bracing (cleats and or euro) in your tank...the 8" is a minimum width to fit a 2 1/2" hole(1.5"bulkhead) and a 1 3/4" hole(1" bulkhead) aswell as the street 1.5" 90 that you will use on your durso, aswell as typical flange size.

You/glass company must notch the top, rather than drill holes here, holes will not work.

Marc.
