    Okay, so this one is a bit involved, but I am open to opinions and ideas.
    I currently have a 75g DT, it has an end \_/ style overflow that takes up the whole inside on one end. I run an MP40wES on the other end and so far this has been fine. I really however would like to add another MP40, or 10's or something to help balance out the flow, but I cannot stick it on the other end as that would require the dry side to be wet. So I am thinking about changing the overflow style. Perhaps moving to a corner style overflow. The holes are drilled in such a way that a corner overflow would work just fine.

    I am completely unsure how I would go about this. Is there a company that I can order the overflow from? Do I have to make one? Is it even possible?

    Is it even worth it? Because I could theoretically just buy a new tank with the RR style I want, but it would require a huge tank with lots of SPS and a fear of losing some stuff.

    Thanks for any and all input.

    I dunno where you're located, but you can give our tank guy a call. He's an acrylics guy, but also builds O/F's and might even do the whole conversion for you. He does first rate work.
