Welcome to Saltwater
Yes I have done it.
I did it with a Tunze over flow just recently I went to a CPR overflow.
I cut part of the basket divider to make the CPR overflow fit in Ian using a waveline pump connected to my apex system ( the pump is a 660GPH pump but have it turned down to 330 GPh)
Please my videos to see what I did ( its been over a year now everything is grea)
Feel free to ask any questions
I have JBJ AIO 45 gal tank

Awesome stuff Bob I'll definitely check out the vids. My tank is already drilled awaiting my sump for the hard plumbing but I myself will be putting in a bean animal overflow (No going back as the rather large hole's are already in). Easier for me as my tank is empty lol

Ah good for you. I thought of doing the bean animal ( which you can do a modified version without drilling any holes)
So my stupid question is you bought a AIO the drilled it or did you have it filled emptied it and then drill it?

No such thing as a stupid question. I'm totally new to the hobby aND always question the things I do lol I had the tank drilled before setting it up. Unfortunately it's still not up and running but getting there, I keep coming up with insane ideas to do. And once the ball gets rolling again on my build a few more things will pop up. The big decision in adding the sump right off the bat was I was thinking about the potential of adding one down the road and didn't want to have to go through the trouble.

Good suggestion but I honestly prefer the closed lid of the MAX C130 over the reefer 170. It's a personal thing I know lol and plus I wanted the redundancy of the Bean animal overflow which means I'd be drilling the reefer 170 anyway. And I got my MAX for 25% off brand new so added bonus there.
