Drill it yourself... just test to see if it's tempered first

I say this because most tanks have tempered bottoms

Thanks I'm looking into getting the glass holes nano kit. They have 2 over flow kits one with no teeth and the other with it.. what's the difference in those

I have an overflow with teeth because I've never had just a reef tank and I worry my little adventurous clownfish will find his way into the sump haha

Where did you get the glass to add the baffles and did you end up cutting it yourself?
I got the baffles at a glass shop in town.. I didn't have to cut them.. I called them up asking what I needed and sizes and same day went to pick it up.. if you do get 1/4" thick glass
