Anyone know of a source for either stock or custom interior overflow boxes? I need one about 20 1/4" tall.

They have some nice very slim-line complete kits including the hole saws to cut holes.

Do you mean interior overflow boxes like the ones that come on a factory reef ready tank? The ones the go all the way from the bottom of the tank to the top?

Yes, I am getting an acrylic tank and plan to have it drilled in the bottom.

Best bet would be to have the company making the tank put it on for you. Otherwise I would an acrylic shop cut out the necessary pieces and you could just put it together. It should be quite easy.
+1 I just ordered a really small one and it was $45!

making one yourself is quite simple. you can get a sheet of acrylic and cut 3 pieces then just silicone them together. acrylic cuts real easy with a circular saw with a fine tooth blade turned backwards.

I was originally going to make one, but by the time I had gathered a sheet of acrylic, a knife to cut it, and the glue to stick it together along with the tax mans part of the deal it had bypassed $60. I ended up taking the stuff back and buying one from BRS for $60, which now I don't need so have for sale (PM me if you're interested)
My local LFS just charged me $91 for a top to bottom overflow with 'castle tops' (or turrets), so from my experience, they generally aren't cheap.
