Looks like you have done your research. Everything looks great. Post pics as you go. It is always nice to see the in -progress pics.

Looks good,,, Drilled tank or overflow box?

 

[Rsquared333]

Overflow. Bow front tanks have tempered glass.

Looks like a nice setup so far. I have always admired the look of the bowfront. 8)

thanks. I'm glad it looks good. This is what I came up with after about 5-6 months of research. This site has really helped.
