Make your overflow box external then you won't lose any tank space to it :-)

you mean with the outlet bulkhead up high in the sidewall of the tank with a strainer on it?

Nope. I mean with the outlet bulkhead inside a box that sits outside of your tank. There will be a notch at the top of your tank where the water will drain out into the overflow box.

And if you are going to go this route make sure you have at least two drains in the overflow box so that you can set up a herbie (or similiar)

looks interesting and would be a good fit considering the tank is going into a wall

Sweet sounds like you got a good price. I will call you Sunday on my way home from Airdre, didn't get home until 11 pm tonight.
