also i am questioning my overflow. I want the quietest i can get for my room, i was thinking either external or a small single drilled over flow in the top corner... what would you guys suggest for the best looking and effective overflow?

comments much appreciated pics coming soon!

Im not really clear about what you have to work with.Where exactly is the current overflow box and the two holes you have? If there is room in the overflow to drill another hole, I would do a herbie style. In fact I dont think I would do a tank any other way.Silent and fail safe.
