it should work but dont over compicate things, my next tank will have a coast to coast over flow with 4 3/4 inch holes or 1 inch idk. and 4 return holes on the back of glass, dont forget ball valves ,check valves, unions

Of course. :) I was thinking about just getting a nice strong sump pump and drilling just four holes....two outputs and two drains.....BUT then my sump will be getting that insane amount of flow too....I dont want that much flow in my sump. Its a refuge not a shoreline. its a pretty basic set up though. This is basically what I had in mind with the back of my tank set up.

in your sump if you seperate it like so skimmer,baffle,return pump,baffle,refugium. you can run each drain pipe with ballvalves one to skimmer and one to refugium, the ball valve will controll the flow how you need it..
