New 300 acrylic tank. Help!!!

[those1]

One more question and i think I will have a running fish tank

I am going to be getting the over flow bulk heads off the internet but need to know the size I need. I know it sounds odd but when they say how big it is I'm not sure what part they measuring. The diameter of the over flows is 2.5". Thanks again for all your help the stand is getting skirted Sunday so hope to get pictures up Monday.

My 450 has 2.5" holes and I used 2" bulk heads. Got them from Lowes.
