Well... after countless headaches trying to figure this out to add a overflow/sump, and hitting numerous roadblocks.... I have caved.. I went to a LFS today, to look at some 23-29G tanks for a sump, and saw a 75G RR (Single Cornerflo) tank tucked into the corner (even comes with some of the plumbing hardware)...... So......... I bought it (lay away till the weekend)..
 75G will be the new display tank, 54G will be a sump/fuge. In the end, i think it will only be a difference in cost of about $50 more... which in mind will be worth it, bigger display, no worries about drilling my 54, no headaches trying to add an overflow... etc etc. I think I will be much happier with this setup. EDIT: If your curious what I am gonna do with the "wasted" acrylic... I am gonna build myself a viewing box for my camera.

You score it down about 1/16" then set it along a solid straight edge... grip, and SNAP it... Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzHnjo2K3Nw

Tank stand is pretty much framed.. I've got a few finishing panels to add..
Thanks have to go out to a friend of mine for the help, and tools! haha! Pretty much built the whole stand out of 2x6.. The thing is bomb proof!  During the Build:  Finished, and back home:  Just need to pick up the tank this weekend.. get everything set in place, plumbed. I think the transfer of LR and Sand is gonna be tricky. But that is a few days away.
