Overflows

[Nick30G]

Im going to be setting up a 37 gallon reef tank plus a 10 gallon sump to go with it. This will be my first reef tank. I have decided that I will stay away from overflow boxes and want to go with a internal overflow. I have a few questions on this. First, I think im going to go with a herbie overflow, I see diagrams on all over the internet but no parts list of what to buy to make this overflow. What are the parts I need to make this overflow? Second where can I get a internal overflow box? I plan on drilling the back side of the tank since the bottom of it is tempered.

Herbie is drain method, not an overflow. Check out modular marine. They make custom overflow boxes.

I meant i want to stay away from hob overflows. I want to use the herbie as a drain method.

Check out the small or medium Eshopps Eclipse units - come with a drill bit and template, and are set-up for the Herbie method. You will need a small (1") gate valve (check Bulk Reef Supply or Marine Depot) and either flexible tubing or PVC pipe.
