    On my 90gal setup I have a 40gal sump/refuge with room for error. Not only is my returned drilled, I have a clear union check valve, air gapped and leak sensors that is connected to my security system and monitored 24hrs.

    First off i never said "holes". It is one hole that the All-Glass overflow setup was already drilled from mfg.
