Can I get some help on how to plumb this? Total newbie to sumps and overflows. Been running canisters.

I have the same type of set up on my 140g, just on the sides and not the corner. Assuming both sides are drilled with the two holes. Are the holes the same size, can't tell from photos. You will need some bulkheads, one for each hole. One hole on each side is your drain and one is for the returns. Do you have a sump for underneath?

Where do you live? What side of town? Might be easier to show you. If you want to PM me your cell I could text you photos. Due to my stand and canopy set up, my overflow area is hard to see.

Thanks so much for helping me out. I actually live in port Isabel about 4 hrs south. Photos would really help me out, if u don't mind the more photos the better. I don't have a sump yet, but I'm already looking around. Just wanted get to understanding the whole sump/overflow before I continue.
