Nonetheless, I think a 1.5 inch overflow will work fine. If you put a wave box in the tank, it's pretty close to ideal.

we didn't know it was a prebuilt at the time hence the question on weather it is or isn't. and we all know that if you take a tank in and ask for a hole in it you do so at your own risk.. the whole issue was if he took a tank in and asked for it to be modified or if he ordered a tank this way..

it turns out it was a tank he just took in for modification.. so ya he is out and either replace the pannel or make due...

if he ordered it that way then it is the tank builders dime not his.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll probably just get him to try and smooth it out so I'm sure the water level will flow over the entire length. I think I can live with 1.5". I'll let you know how it goes.
