Which overflow box should I get?

This is the sump I'll be getting http://www.fishtanksdirect.com/proflexsumpmodel4.aspx ...what overflow box should I use for it? Will one of these work? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18358 What else will I need for this set up? How exactly does everything work? I'm a total noob to this sump/overflow business lol. This is for my 150 gallon tank. If you guys have any other pointers please let me know. Thanks!

That is a nice sump, a little pricey, but should do a great job.

That overflow will work and should work pretty well. I would recommend drilling your tank if at all possible. It just makes life easier.

i have a Lifereef overflow box for my sump. its the 600 gph single, and im using an eheim 1260 on my 75 and works perfectly. its not too loud, just trickling water, and has never lost siphon on me. the sight claims 24 years and not a single one has lost siphon. http://www.lifereef.com/siphon.html well worth the extra money, jeff from lifereef was great to deal with.
