What size is your overflow?
How big are those drain pipes?
There should be holes in the top of those drains already, if it was used before...?
You can put a valve on the return side of the pump to regulate flow back to the main tank.
I don't recommend mechanical filtration, but that is a personal choice.
oh, and your drains will only drain back what your pump pushes up to your display tank.
