Tank drainage for sumps

[dr_sudz]

Alright, what would you guys say is the best way to drain your tanks for a sump? I was thinking of drilling the back of my tank and use a screen drain but in a overflow mix. I dont know if that is clear if not just say so i will try to be more specific. Anyways what is your opinion of what is better for sump feed from the tank?

I have been trying to get a pvc syphon overflow to work but am having ALL KINDS of trouble. I am going to look into drilling mine.

I currently have a tank that is drill in the top back with a round screen drain and works great!

I made one for my 265 that is perfect. Search for DIY overflow and take a look at EH1421's thread.
I would post pix but I dont have any right now.
