I first went your route and did a home made external overflow but the security was not there so I ended up buying a gl******* small nano overflow and drilled the tank. That's peace of mind 100% safe.

At the end I spent as much money on making my external overflow with pipes than what cost me the nano overflow.

Thanks for the input daniella3d.

Id like to avoid the gl*******s kit because l don't want anything inside the tank. Also, ld prefer 2 drain pipes, a throttled one and an emergency.

It will be glass construction so it will bond well with glass. I'll try and sketch my idea so other know what l have in mind.

Cheers
