Well I figured out a way to get my overflow box working. It involves an old yogurt container

. Anyway my dad is all of a sudden feeling uncomfortable with the safety of the sump. So we are putting in extra safety measures to ensure it doesnt overflow. Meanwhile I am searching hardware stores high and low to look for aragonite based sand for my DSB. No sign of any yet but I will find some eventually. I hope to get at least 1 fish this weekend.
