am i correct to think that if you can drill you tank you dont need that type of overflow?

Yep, but it's a hell of a lot easier (and cheaper) to make one of these, rather than drilling glass.

does the part of the overflow that goes in the tank have to be a certain size? My tank is 2 feet deep, but the overflow doesn't have to go to the bottom like in the second pic? What diameter pipe would you guys use for a 90 gallon main tank with a 20 gallon or so sump?
