We need/want one of the back of the display. Not just the display but the back of the whole system. Need to see overflow and how it's routed to sump or what/where filtering is being done now.

The overflow pipe is the white pipe going along the top of the sump in the 3rd picture. You could put a slot on it for an ATS but you would need to make something to block any chance of water going anywhere but down into the sump (ie some type of acrylic box). One side would have to be easily removable to get to the screen, preferably hinged that way when you take the screen off and water comes out full force it will still just go into your sump and not all over the place. It looks completely doable, just going to take a little ingenuity.

my solution to an acrylic box was a polycarb file holder from a local overstock store. Saved my $$ and build time. Works great, prevents splash. Even sanded all but the light window and painted it white to reduce light polution on the outside and improve reflection on the inside.
