Ok so I don't have a reef ready tank but I was wondering if I could do this instead of adding an external or internal overflow box...
Figure out where I want my water level to be (so pretty much where the plastic tank trim is) and then drill a hole for a bulkhead to be installed with the lowest point of the bulkhead at the point where the water level could drain to (in case of power outage) and then covering the hole with some kind of mesh so that nothing but water could get sucked into it. and of course this would then lead to a 90degree PVC corner faced down and then leading to my sump.
Does this sound crazy or possible or just plain stupid. I really don't want to have a hang on back overflow box or really have alot of unnatural clutter in the tank...
BTW this would be for a 75 gallon tank
