Dale, this is what I did but I never put the overflow in.. the problem I have found with putting the bulkheads in the side is that will add two 90 degree bends into your flow right off the bat and lower the amount of water you can put throught the pipe. Mine ended up with 4, 90 degree bends and can only handle about 1000 gph. if you want to use a large return pump the best way is a big hole in the bottom (ie. 1.5" bulkhead) as this will allow the water to fall strait down to the sump.
