So I just purchased a 200 gallon fish tank with no drills and am planning on drilling my new glass aquarium to use a sump. One issue I have after drilling the tank is covering the drilled holes. I need to figure out where i could purchase a piece to cover it. As you can see in the picture below, The built in overflow is being covered by a black custom made sheet of acrylic. Seeing how my tank is GLASS, a acrylic sheet like this would just not work out. Could someone help me out and give me ideas on where i could look for a glass version of this and list estimated prices please?IMG_6792.jpg

you could just silicone in glass slightly lower than the desired water level and use a weir comb on top!!
 
Is this a handmade or retail bought 200?

I would try to verify that the panels are NOT tempered glass before attempting it. Even then I'm really not a fan of drilling glass. Just concerned you may lose an entire panel. Good luck and proceed with caution.

I say retail . It was purchase from previous owner for 600 new.
