Why not reinforce the bottom of the tank with a thicker piece of glass before you drill.

Went into jlaquatics and got talked out of drilling the tank. Jeff seemed like a learned man and sold me on a nano hang on overflow. My name is on an order for one coming in on the 21st. It fits perfectly inside my wall mounted tank box. Has anyone bought the "Eshopps nano overflow"? Now I have more descisions to make. Filter sock or not? Sacrifice sump space in the lower cavity of tank box for topoff reservoir? I guess I should post all my equip so far.

The smaller the tank the harder it is to drill. I have some glass hole saws if someone in Calgary wants to borrow one, can't guarantee I'll have the size you want but I have a few sizes available. However if it's your first time drilling glass and you're doing a nano with 3mm glass I give you a 50/50 chance of success

I havent used that brand per se, but I have used lifereef and similar utube based models...
Properly set up, there is no difference between one of these and a drilled overflow. I have used both systems before and as some of you may know from previous threads, am a utube overflow advocate.
