What I was planning on using for the overflow chambers on my 240 were these

only drawback is the outflow to the sump HAS to be underwater. Well now that my stand is built (not by me) and it didn't have the room it should have I have to change my filtering plans a little.
So the way im thinking of making a wetdry (rubber tubs and gabage cans) I don't really have the room for a chamber thats full of water for the outflow to be submerged.
In the past I had a 110 reef that I put ball valves on the drain line and cut it back a little to make the overflow chamber fill with water. I know thats not the safest thing to do but I had it running like that for many years and it was pretty quiet...much better than with out.
Is there any other way to do it??
I will have a safeguard to shut the return pump off if the tank starts to get close to overflowing by using a float switch and a reef keeper elite controler.
