I got myself a DIY overflow box that I have to silicone into the tank, when I first siliconed it in place it was leaking as well as the bulkheads. I have since removed the box and the bulkheads replaced all my old bulkheads, plumbing in PVC and with pvconline ballvalves for a full siphon and a spare. I need some insight, what grit sandpaper would you recommend "curving" the corner of the overflow as for it goes into the seam
 
Pics? Where'd you get the box?
I have gotten the overflow box installed no issues, The box is from Melevsreef. Off his online shop.
