    Any recommendation greatly appreciated.

    I would like to change a 3ft normal tank and cabinet to a internal overflow to sump tank. There will be drilling on the tank and cabinet require. Any recommendation any tanker maker willing to do such modification.

    thanks

    Why dont you DIY overflow pipe like picture below (not mine, its from google), that way you don't need to drill the tank.

    hk75, I also understand there is alot of complication when drilling a tank. I understand that chances of cracking is quite high due to insufficient bracing.

    That is why when constructing a tank, they usually drill holes on the glass panels and then put them together to form the tank.

    It is more advisable for you to use an external overflow box and perhaps build a bigger cupboard to cover everything up if you want a clean look.

    thanks guys. Yup, I am also worrying on the cracking due to the drilling.

    Shadow, diy myself before, wanted to have a clean look. Thats why will not prefer this.

    Think i will go with either a external over flow box or canister.

    I see, you probably need them to come to your place and do the modification. CR aquarium is OK, I've been dealing with them and so far so good.
