so what the best type of overflow that is quiet I'm using a trigger system ruby 36

Using an eheim AEH1260310 return pump

How should I drill (and what with)
How should I plumb it both to and from tank and sump
 
Make sure the glass of your tank isn't tempered first or else it's game over. Use a hole saw. Flip your tank upside down and decide where you want to drill. It's a lot easier if you have someone running a hose rather than hoping it doesnt fall off. The constant stream of water will keep the heat generated from the drill down as well as knock glass dust away. This is absolutely the hardest part, watch some videos on YouTube. The rest is easy. You can plumb with PVC or tubing. Generally PVC is better but if you want to be lazy use the tubing. No need to measure and stuff lol. Same goes for plumbing the return
 
Ok my current tank is tempered
But I'm going to get a new tank
