Anyone have experience with the Oceanic Wet/dry 150? I'm picking up one of my 135's next week off someone on craiglist and it comes with one of these. The wet/dry's tank is black and looks like this:

The 135 has dual overflows and i'm thinking of getting the Durso standpipes for the overflows. The thing with this wet/dry is that it's really just an open tank with an output on the side i'm guessing to run to an external pump. I'm guessing this was for a reef tank and was used and a live rock area or something with protein skimmer. I'm wanting to turn into a wet/dry that will work for my fresh water setup. Each overflow has two holes with fittings for an output and an input back into the tank. Should I just get the acrylic to put in the tank and turn it into a wet/dry that i'm used to using with the bio-balls (pot scrubbers) or do something else?
Also, wouldn't I need two pumps to return to each overflow? I was thinking of plugging the hole coming out of the side of the tank even though it has a valve to shut it up. I'll just put it cap on it for safe measure and run two pumps back to each overflow. Does that sound about right? Do I use PVC (like it is setup for now) or do you use some hoses?
Or just tear the overflows down and cover the holes and do it with the old fashioned HOB and Canister route. I do know the bottom glass is tempered.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
