DIY external overflow on 20" cube

[nerdz]

Well, notched tank for overflow... Went pretty well/fast.


Now for return line. Need a diamond bit to drill for .5" bulkhead. 1 or 2 returns? I'm thinking 1.


I painted the back of my last tank, what can I do to hide overflow box and stand pipes? Ideas would be appreciated!
