ok bit of a update . i got my stan about 98 % done and the canopy about 70 % done ( pics will be up later ) . i allso have ordered the 6 lamp nova extreme prolight .

.now here is another ? i have on a thought i was having . since there is only one over flow box in my tank what if i was to use those two holes for drain and have two new holes cut in the back of my tank for return .

now if i was to do this .
? 1 would i be just wasting my time .
? 2 would there be anything to gain from doing this
? 3 what size holes should i drill
? 4 does it madder if the holes are in the middle or towards the ends

thanks for all the help so far guys

wasting time.
nothing to gain.
all the overflow box needs to do is transfer water to the sump. if you are accomplishing that and feeding all of the necessary components enough, then any more is completely unnecessary.

btw, the stand looks great!
