its always nice to have a drilled tank;however, saying that I have never had one. I have had a overflow for many years and never had a problem. Lifereef has one of the best overflows on the market. The key is to ensure you have a large enough pump to produce enough flow to prevent air bubles from building up in the U tube while at the same not over whelming the actual flow rate of the overflow.

"errrrr thanks for the reply. i new i should of gotta reef ready good thing it was free! "
Actually you are lucky you did not get a "reef ready" or pre-drilled tank. They are rarely drilled with the right number, size and location of holes. Check out the "Horizontal Overflow" thread here on all things salty and use that to help you design you own horizontal overflow and drill the tank to your own specifications.
