I am thinking of buying a craigslist setup, but the tank is not drilled. Unfortunately, the tank is already stocked, so I would need to store the critters and rock in a huge rubbermaid while I drain the tank, drill it, and make plumbling. Hopefully I can do this as quickly as possible!

Can anyone local drill tanks? Or does anyone know a LFS equipped to do it an install an overflow?
 
I have no idea what sizes I would need! This is my first foray into any reefkeeping that is not in an all-in-one tank.

If I decide to get the tank, I think I will just concentrate on getting it home first and set up, then I can take my time designing the plumbing.

I'll gladly order an overflow online, and all the fittings I need (perhaps I can obtain them locally), but I'm a bit lost on all the plumbing, check valves, ball valves, appropriate pumps, etc etc I would need to have a good plumbing setup. In the future I'd gladly provide a 12 pack if someone might help me set up a plumbing system ;)

I am going to see the tank tomorrow, I will update back if I get it! I'm so excited. Perhaps I will be fine with an overflow box? What are the disadvantages of the box?
 
I use to run an overflow box. The only disadvantage to them is the fact they tend to look ugly and take up space in a tank.

Now That I know sea in the city does it I should see if they will drill my 10.
