This last one is kind of crappy because the tank was cycling but, you get the idea....no stinkin overflow box in my tank

Now that's awesome to cut glass like that.

10 minutes work with the dremel . The only thing I really see differant about the design from what scarletnight06 posted is that I built a 4 sided box instead of 3. The panel that sits against the tank glass is cut 1 inch shorter and I put it there as I felt it would help to reinforce the slot.
