Default overflow help

I have a 90 gal tank that is not drilled so I want to buy a hang on overflow box preferably an eshopps. So I was just wanting to know what one would go best with my tank and what other equipment I would need to set up the overflow thanks.

Have you considered drilling it yourself?

This is a good suggestion. eliminates from having to go thru the motion later on down the road. If you decide to drill, make sure the glass is tempered(that is if it is glass) I for one am not a big fan of HOB anything, but that is my opinion.
If the tank is empty then invest the time and get it drilled, you wont regret the decision.
Happy Reefing!
