Stand/Sump Fit & Single Drain Work-Around

[statru]

Does anyone know if a Trigger Systems Crystal 36 Sump (36 x 14 x 15") will fit in the Marineland/Perfect Manufacturing Monterey stand for the 75/90 gallon tank? Also, is there a work-around for the single corner overflow (both drain & return in the same corner) in the Marineland 90 gallon glass tank in order to have 2 drains instead of the intended single one to prevent overflows in case of a clog in the single one?

Are there two drilled holes? Instead of using one for a return, run both as drains in a herbie setup, and route the return up over the back of the tank. Working well for me on my aga 90

I haven't bought the tank yet (doing my homework 1st), but I'm taking for granted there's 2 separate holes in the corner. And I can't run the return on the outside of the back because it will be open on all sides, viewable from 2 rooms and sitting on a stand enclosing the sump.

I would consider going with an old fashioned durso single drain like it's actually designed for, or figuring out a way to run abort return from the side if it allows. If anything, consider another brand with 3 drilled holes
