Quiet Flow 600 should do the trick. Though, why not drilling it?

For a small tank like a 30G, Id get an Amiracle overflow box and a small pump like a Mag3

 

[Seajay7]

What places online sell overflow boxes?..i looked through my dr foster and smith catolog and couldnt find any....

Aquacorals

This may be a stupid question...but what if in my 'fuge the water level on the "drain" side doesnt reach the top ...how would i use a overflow box....should i drill the tank then?.....If i should drill the tank...is this something i can do or should i take it to a professional glass company.....

Thanks for the help in advance

The overflow would not work in that app. You will need to have the tank drilled at the level you need.

I have taken tanks to a glass company or even some LFS will drill the tank. Most overflow boxes are made with a small amount of adjustment in them. They should also hold their siphon when the power goes out. If you are saying the fuge is only about half full of water and you want to keep it that way, you will have to drill.
