Thanks for the replies all.

Couple more questions

What the heck is a coast to coast overflow?
What thickness of glass is best to use in building a overflow box?


I have been a member of RC since 2001 but I only have two posts I find the site a little overwhelming at times but I will check it out on the subject.

A coast to coast overflow is where the overflow stretches from one end of the tank all the way to the other.

As for the thickness of glass, you could get away with using a thinner glass as once the tank is full there is no real pressure being applied to the glass. Just take care when filling your tank and try to fill both sides of the overflow simultaneously.
