Got myself into another retard situation...

I know this seems a bit weird, but my new 75e AGA aquarium has a bit of a problem with overflowing the sump. Its a modification flaw of my own (thats the retarded part!) and now Im getting more backflow with powerloss than the SeaLife sump can hold. Ouch, made a heck of a mess too...

My Q is, what are the sumps made of? Plexiglass? I want to drill a 3/4" or so hole in the top of the water-return side and pipe over to a second sump, to hold the extra water in case of power loss. How do I drill into this thing?

This has been very disappointing, but I can't think of another fix. A small secondary water tank to catch the extra overflow....

Any help would be greatly appt'd!!!!

TIA
