Yes, you can set up a very adequate reef tank, without drilling. There are HOB (hand on back) overflow boxes that work great, if you wanted to run a sump/refugium. Other than that, you don't need to drill OR use a HOB overflow. You can go skimmerless, though this will require more frequent water changes, or you can use a HOB skimmer. A proper amount of live rock, good flow and a HOB skimmer is all the filtration you need.
You can also incorporate an "over the back" closed loop system, though this requires some visible plumbing, inside the display tank.
Here's a good example of a non drilled closed loop system.

Thank you. It looks like I might be going with a 29 gal AGA sump. I see you have the MPS 150 skimmer up for sale. Would that be adequate for my system?
eww, if you see something you need on the for sale forum, just PM the seller directly.
