A lot of left over glass to play with when your an iron worker huh hahah

Number one flaw is drain size. Go big on those bulk heads dude

Number of holes in the overflow....with so many people running BA systems it's nice to have the option of ordering a larger single overflow with 5 holes than two smaller overflows with a Durso setup.

Wont be any. The glass comes from a local fabricator. Cut,drilled amd pencil edged. All done on a large cnc machine.
