My overflow box BARELY fit behind my 55, it was pure luck I didn't have to move anything. Then I would have just hung it off the side or front because I'm lazy like that.

yup, had to scoot mine out about three inches to make room for the protein skimmer. i got lucky and didn't have to drain any water out of my 55. my laminate hardwood was slick enough for my wife and i to walk it out.
