I do see 1 (emergency drain line) but if it had been the return you'd still see it. I like the peice of mind of having a back up, incase something happens.
Same here my skimmers bubbles are the loudest thing I hear, and I get no sump noise or gushing water I have mine made as a true herbie with durso emergency stockman standpipe as my main drain with gate valve and all my returns are housed in through my overflow .

Drilling isn't that hard either if you don't want to run the lines over you could also drill through the back for returns or another drain if your tank is drillable
