Its not an overhead. All though I did have one over my 75g. My thread has some pics and a possible video in it. I'll see if I can figure out how to quote it over here.

Plus from what i read overhead sump have less chance on overflowing during power outage thats why i decided to tey it out.
You just need to make sure there is enough room in your tank to accommodate the water from your sump just like if the tank was up top.
I always leave about 3-“4” gap in my tank, the tank is 65g high and the plastic pot i have is about 3’ long 10”high and 8” wide, ill be drilling the plastic pot about 6” high so the water level wont be to high.
So how does this work? You have a pump inside the tank to pump the water in the drawer?
Well like I said the big set up is gravity, it's under the tank. Yes you would put a pump in the tank and pump water to the three drawer. It would run down through your media and back to the tank. The tub is 48x18×21ish it's tapered so I think bottom is only 14.
The small set up is over tank and same thing I used a deck planter box and an old acrylic tank I had. The planter box has a ledge made out of eggcrate with cotton batting for mech and is full of lava rock and pothos.
Same flood risks on both. What happened to the eshopps you had ?
I still have it attached to the 180g i dont want to remove it cause im still going to fix that tank and use all the same filtration again.
