75 Gallon Marineland Tank

I am in the process of designing a 75 gallon reef tank and have decided to do a herbie overflow. I really like the look of the Marineland corner overflows, but it sounds like they would not work for the herbie method since they only have two holes drilled at the bottom. I need three holes drilled on the bottom pane of glass since I want the return line to come up through the bottom of the tank. Does anyone know where I can get a tank similar to the Marineland tanks but with 3 holes drilled?
 
All standard 75 RR tanks I've seen have 2 holes on the bottom panel. Typically the return is over the top or drilled near the top water line, if using a Herbie.

3 holes would be a special request or custom tank. IMO its not worth the effort to order and/or cost, compared to a DIY coast to coast w/ BA or low profile ghost overflow box. I could be wrong though, maybe the cost for adding a 3rd hole is reasonable from the tank maker.

An easy, cost effective option would be a Herbie using the 2 holes, and over the top return. Other than that, I would spend the money on a coat to coast or ghost overflow that will not encroach any space on the bottom panel, (considering its a 75).

Do you have any pictures of your ghost overflow?
