Default Overflow Box

I am about to get a 75gallon tank and the only thing I really need is a overflow box for it, is there any special one I have to get? B/C ebay seems to have some for a pretty good price. Any thoughts would be a great help. I found this one on ebay but there are more out there at a better price. eBay: CPR Overflow Unit CS90 (item 7723453840 end time Jun-27-07 20:04:18 PDT)

IMO, I would have the side of the tank drilled & use an internal overflow. The unit you show seems overpriced. Check out: eBay: NEW CPR CS102DX Overflow with AquaLifter Pump (item 280124956022 end time Jun-20-07 15:47:35 PDT) Check out their ebay store. They often have factory 2nds of CPR equipment so you'll need to visit them from time to time to see what they have.

You can also try to make your own. Its a little tricky, but its definately doable and a lot cheaper.

Thanks for the advise guys I am really starting to like the idea of drilling the tank, this will be an on going project cant really afford to buy everything i need at one time but as long as I have the tank,sump,stand and skimmer its a pretty good start.
