Can you drill an acrylic tank for an overflow?

Hello I am thinking of getting the SeaClear Acrylic Tank:

https://plus35.safe-order.net/tropicalfishstore/catalog/index.php?cPath=31_71

IS this tank Drillable in the back for an overflow - I mean just a simple overflow - like a bulkhead with strainer attached to it. Then another hole for the return. Is there a risk in drilling these tanks?

I am asking because I dont think I can use a overflow box with this and overall - I dont liek overflow boxes due to the possibility of a flood!

Thanks for your time.

you have to drill slow, or use water so the hole saw doesn't stick,and don't force the bit or you could crack the acrylic
