why not return and exchange for reef ready tank. most reputable lfs will honor your purchase and give you exchange which will save you tons of headache etc drilling your own tank. just make the store people happy by getting a few more essentials at time of exchange and promises of future purchases to come their way.

you can drill the back. lets say you want a herbie style overflow. drill one near the bottom, not to close though, and then drill another one a little higher up and just put a 90 on it and have the pipe out of the water. you could also drill for your returns and order glass from a store for the overflow. its not to hard. depending on your skills it might be cheaper, reef ready tanks are alot more than just a normal tank.

reef ready tanks are only about a 100 bux more........
that being said my friend drilled his tank and its not hard i drilled a few holes in some glass baffles i had lying around to practice, the only thing is the drill bits are 50 bux or so and then needing glass cut and silicone in the end its cheeper and less of a headache to just get the reef ready also since u have the tank stand combo the tank will have a warretny god forbid anythnig happens,but you drill the tank yourself and goodbye warrenty
