How to plum a sump/refuge

[ladyamanda]

I recently acquired a nice 20 gallon acrylic tank, with a matching hood and stand. I'll be setting this up in the next few months, but I've decided I want to set it up with a sump/refuge in the stand (underneath)

 

How would you go about doing this, and hopefully avoid flooding problem, I was thinking of a siphon "down" with a pump up, to the main tank, but I'd liek to hear from anyone on things to do/avoid in such a set-up.....

Since you have a acrylic tank you can just drill it with an overflow and an inlet... piece of cake.

 

This is the overflow and inlet I put on my 'fuge. Should give you a good idea of what I am talking about.
