    Yeah, I guess. I'm looking to convert my non-drilled 75 for a sump.

    If you're certain that's the way you want to go I'll sell you one. However, I'll strongly encourage you to have the tank drilled instead.HOB overflows are noisy, & they can and will fail. When I used mine, the box somehow got tipped slightly, but enough that the water overflowed out of the tank onto power strips. Didn't even trip the GFI, just started burning. Luckily we were home and smelled it. I really think most everyone on here will agree to have the tank drilled.....

    My problem is, the tank is already set up, so drilling's not an option. I will drill my next tank, but this one I just can't. THe question is, couldn't I just set up a float switch reversed to shut off the pumps if water reaches a certain level?
