I've attached a quick sketch of the plumbing/overflow. I simply used 1/2" PVC to get the job done. I drilled three holes in the back piece of acrylic just big enough for 1/2" PVC pipe to slide through. For the drains I used a Tee and a cut off piece from an elbow to sandwich outside the acrylic. The return is simply a 90 and a 45 sandwich. The fittings where glued in place and silicone was used to seal around the hole.

The two drain tees simply act as standpipes preventing siphon, they are tee'd together to a single drain line.

Personally I don't think this is the best way to go, if I could have I would have just notched the back acrylic piece and added an external overflow in a more traditional manor. However I went this route purely for the ease of doing it in my current situation.

The LEDs were ordered as a kit from RapidLED
