I got the return line drilled and the overflow weir is cut into the tank so here you go!

Hey how did you cut out your overflow, I see you drilled 2 holes then did you just use a glass etch to go between or did you use the drem with a bit to cut it out? Details as I'm in the process of building a Nano and I am scratching my head how I'm going to create the overflow.

I drilled two holes with a glass hole saw only because i wanted smooth corners and it think it looks better, then i used my dremel with glass cutting wheel to slowly cut out the over flow from the holes, you can see in one of the pictures im cutting the overflow into the back.

Im going to post the rest of the overflow right now so read on to see what i did

So I decided to drill the holes for my overflow and put together the plumbing for it, after some thinking and some cutting to make it all work in a small space, this is what i have so far

That's pretty cool, good luck with the rest of the build!

I did some more work today and got the wavebox covered up

Then i couldnt wait any longer and the minute i had finished my overflow I get it all wet to see how it would work and let me tell you, it went just swimmingly!! take a look

and last but not least...VIDEO PROOF THAT IS REALLY HAPPENED
