I've been trying to figure out if its feasible but haven't come across that info yet.

Yes, you would just have to drill the bottom of the tank and make a full height internal overflow. You would also have to have pretty high drain pipes to avoid a noisey cascade effect into the overflow. Not ideal for beananimal, but doable.

If you're going for an internal overflow, I would just go for a herbie IMO.
