Default True center overflow

Didn't get to cowtown this weekend so got a bit done on the tank. Here it is being built and on the tank.

Is it water tight? - What would happen in a power failure?

There's an actual glass overflow on the inside. I just put the cover over top.

Thanks, I wanted a true central overflow but needed a way to cover it up nicely, got a lot of help from RC on this one. But it turned out quite nicely I think. By the time I get some water in there and the coraline gets it, I think it will look wicked. Biggest problem was getting the rock to look good with out looking too staged.
