I like the idea Greg . I think you could make one way cheaper . Plastic Works - here in Surrey has helped me out a few times - if you wanna make the internal with teeth . Outside glass box should strengthen rear pane with holes , I wouldn't worry about it.
Only thing , you'd have to make internal box wide enough to get bulk heads in & out . Just my 2 cents . Good luck - I like it !

I like the slim design of the internal overflow, the only downside would be if something got stuck inside it or one of the bulkheads it would be pretty difficult to remove.
To solve maron6697s bulkhead issue I would glue the bulkheads in to the back panel before gluing the front panel of the box on. Good luck!

I pulled the trigger and just finished placing an order for an Elite Aquatics 3-drain system through Reef Supplies.
I will be running a Bean now instead of a Herbie. Might as well while I have the opportunity to do so. Can't beat the price, and I don't have the time to cut/assemble all the pieces involved. By the time I purchase all the needed acrylic and bulkheads I'd be looking @ close to half the price of the unit. Then cutting and assembling such a unit takes time I don't have. I have all the necessary tools to build this unit, but know I can't make a 1-off look as nice as one cut with a CNC unit. I just hope it arrives as pretty as their pictures, and is water tight  There's a full-page list of stuff I need to get done before June and this is not going to be one of them !!
