    I wouldn't have a tank that big without an overflow. As a matter of fact I don't think I'd have any tank without an overflow.

    Don't much care for the stand though.. No where for a sump.

    Added Note looking at other Fluval Tanks that have bulkhead fittings in the bottom the same wording is used in the Filter info section above.
    If you move that nice blue fabric there may be fittings on the right hand side.

    It suck that can't have a sump, but it's a really cool sleek type stand. Just different.

    Sorry off topic :)
