Need Help on tank lid ideas and Filtration

[aquariumpredatorkepper]

Received from a friend this 160x120x40cm aquarium from a friend.
12mm thickness glass

Was thinking about adding two sumps or one sump and one DIY K1 bucket.

I have not drilled a tank before..

Also need help on what is the best way to make the lid on this tank.

It has no bracings.

(It does not need to be pretty, its a temporary growout for my rays, when they get bigger I will move them to my pond or my bigger aquarium)

You need to know what type of glass it is prior to attempting to drill it. If it's a temporary grow-out for young rays why not do an external overflow off 1 of the sides to the sump & preserve the integrity of the tank?
Polycarbonate panels cut to size would be a good cover;
