Howdy
You could use a siphone system with tube going into the tank with a safety check hole so the tank doesnt siphone dry and flood your room.
Either that or a pump or even a PH. Either option is a big compromise on an overflow setup.

Hi Robbie75,


You can use an external overflow. Read this article to get an understanding of the sump/overflow concept and let us know if you have any additional questions.
