safest way will be the i-box overflow system. however it doesn't come cheap although it looks simple. 2nd hand sets are selling in SG Reef forum ard the region of $70.
This i-box are great ideas. I remember i used to have marine tank many years back and i try to diy something like the i-box, but it fail me and i had my floor full of salt water.
