Thanks madreefer... i am actually planning on turfing all my old sand and replacing with new. You are probably right about the egg crate. It would sux having it show...and yes i would hate it.
Now onto figuring out the plumbing... will research the forum for answers as i have no idea how drilled tank vs overflow box should be configured. Just happy to get rid of the over flow box giving me nightmares about flood and poweroutage.

Your plumbing choices may be affected by how many holes are in your overflow. If you have 2, I would suggest a herbie. Has worked well for me. The only part you may not have readily available is a gate valve, but that shouldn't be too big a deal to get ahold of.
I agree with the no eggcrate beneath your rock. Your plans look great, I'm sure you're excited with a fresh start to your aquascape. Keep us posted!  - Ian

Thank Ian,
Will be looking up the "herbie" Yes, I have to admit... I am pretty excited about redoing the aquascape on the tank. I will finally have the tank the way I want it We purchased the Tank used a few years back and didn't care much for the stand.. it's just not working well with the 60 gallons sump. Hubby has agreed to build a new stand... so I am pretty happy.

I second using a large tote vs a garbage can.. Or see if anyone has an old tank you can use for a while. Set the tote or tank up with rock a heater and flow and everything should be just fine.

Thanks... I have a couple of x-large rubbermaid tote. I might use those instead.
will definitely go with the Herbie overflow, seems pretty simple. Found this info on the web  http://gmacreef.com/herbie-overflow-...prettyphoto/1/
