have had surface skimmer teeth and also bottom ones

But even with those bottom ones once the water goes below the opening for the durso or the lowest water level in a stockman, the siphon will breakand water stops flowing. The bottom teeth don't make a big difference other than removing some water from lower in the water column

I am doing the same thing with the 120 I have(viewable fom three sides) and all you need to do is recess the tank inside the stand or put a six inch(or less) piece of wood to cover the overflows. Simple as that. I actually like to be able to look into the overfow. Lets me see what is growing in there. And you will still have an overflow to look at as your stand is now don't you?

oh one thing that might actualy make sence is that because of the hight of tanks I am using for sumps by the time I plummed the threaded union and ball valve I would pretty hard pressed to fit everything.

Your stand is 32" high under the tank right? That is lots of room.
