Default Where can I get an overflow box so I can add a sump?

Just wondering if there are any good sites that sell over flow boxes so i can add a sump to me already running tank? The tank is 92 gallons.
Thanks

Most on-line stores have them as well as eBay.

If you or someone you know have worked with pvc you can make your own overflow for about 1/3 the cost. I made one for my tank. Its been running for two and a half weeks now with no problems. There are a few sites where you can lookup other DIY o'flows people have used. I'll try to find the sites and post back later.

I use one of the infamous CPR models on my 37 gal prop tank..

Been working good for me so far

Modified it with a nice lil durso standpipe, that did the trick
