Drilled for a central overflow 2" bulkhead and used flex-line to run return through overflow. slotted a 3" to 2" PVC reducer and fixed the return line at water level.
Dry and Live-rock was attached to 3" PVC which slides over the 2" PVC overflow. i have a 55 gal sump with a DIY acrylic filtration system/skimmer
