Thanks guys. I figured out how to hook it up to the kitchen sink.

I also had the glass cut down a bit. Very nice of the glass guys to do it and for free! It was my mistake after all. I was checking to see how it fit now and its great but I noticed that it will be hard to silicone the pieces to the bottom corners of the tank because of the silicone thats already there to attach the wall of the tank to the bottom. Any ideas? Its quite thick black silicone and stops the my overflow glass from sitting flush against the back glass.

I guess I will also direct this on going question I have had about using a herbie between the fuge and sump to Untamed, since he seems to be the expert! Looking at the picture above, will it actually work to have a bulkhead at the bottom of the fuge (right) and still create a herbie overflow to the sump on the left??? It seems like there is no where near enough height difference. I mean the water would go through a gate valve and then would have to go through another bulkhead in the sump but only about 6" below where the output (fuge) bulkhead will be. Seems like without much gravity working there, it may not work. A whole lot of back pressure too. Anyways I have no idea, I could be wrong.
