240 gallon long sump and filter problems

[cpr_mike]

I bought a 240 gallon acrylic tank recently, sanded and buffed all the scratches out. Now my problem is is my sump. I am worried about overflowing it since the tank is drilled on the bottom. I am not sure if I should build a telescopic drain pipe or if I can buy them. I dont really want to cap the drainage holes and then drill the back. The tank is 96x24x24 and it is drilled with two holes at each end of the tank so in all has 4 holes.

I am open to any idea as I am new to this and I just want my tank up and running haha.

Drill a siphon break in your returns and you're good to go...
