Unless you want to drill your tank, you will need to get an external overflow box and a pump rated to return around the same GPH. We have CPR overflow boxes and they are OK, but we going to try out an Eshopps one.

You will probably want to add some baffles in the sump so that you can keep a constant water level for the skimmer.
