Thanks for the responses, and the kind words!
I had originally thought of drilling it as well, problem is I have no idea if the glass is tempered on the bottom or not. I guess I could always find that out, also, I do have my running tank as a back up so I don't see why not. My reasoning behind using the overflow, was simply that I had one, and figured why not use it and save me the hassle of drilling.
Kien, thanks for the idea about the 45 elbows. I will swap out what I can, it makes plenty of sense to me. As far as unions, never even thought about them. I will throw some on as well and I don't mind making my life easier down the road one bit! P.S. pictures are very clear and I appreciate them!
Snaz - I will be using a 36" 96 watt atinic and 96 watt 10000 K PC that I have on my other tank. Nothing fancy, but down the road (as in when I have a few dollars) I plan on using the 33 gallon tank as a sump for a 90 or 120 and then upgrading to metal halide or some HO T5.
