I just bought a used 150g glass tank that doesn't have any means of overflow. My previous tank had an external overflow box using the siphon method and I did not care for it due to noise and losing siphon. I want to do an internal overflow either in one or both corners with a return in one of them or perhaps a center overflow? I have no problem drilling holes and /or custom making glass or plastic boxes, etc.... The tank and stand will be on the main floor and the sump will be in the basement. I have already installed 2-2" drain lines and 2-1/12" return lines (if 2 are needed). I can't seem to find any pre-made corner overflow systems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
 
What about an internal weir with external overflow? More room on the inside.
 
Have you looked into one of the glass-holes kits? I am running there 3000 overflow kit on my 165 gal and love it. Comes with everything you need to install.
