I would check out this DIY Overflow Box

I have made a couple of those and they work great

Richard would you by any chance have some pics of it... I was thinking of attempting one myself sometime off the same plans. Id like to see an actual photo though

I used the same plans that Poly Rugby posted and ended up with a real nice overflow in my opinion . This is how it looks finished. I did add a 1/4" hard down tube piece that I put a 1/4" air line and shutoff valve. to prime it and keep the air out of the center siphon section.

I don't have a full shot of mine but here is it in action. It pretty much looks like the one emccullough1 posted.



I added the egg crate to stop the gurgling noise, it works really well.
Check this out as well, Working with Acrylic - Routing The pics give you a decent look at what it looks like all done.
