Yup if you wanna keep it simple, buy some gutter guard and silicone it to the piece of glass where the baffle overflows...that way it all stays and you dont have to cut teeth

That's a definite. Gotta be able to isolate the pump for maintenance.

Tony, I wouldn't do a valve on the return pump unless your pump is too high on the GPH after head pressure.

i already bought the 1 inch bulkhead.. should i get the return drilled to.. the same height or should i just let it hang off the back of the tank...

Yes, drill the return too. If you don't, a power outage back siphon will occur there just as it would with the overflow.
If you can put a 90 on your overflow so that the strainer lays half in and half out of the water surface you'll create more surface area for the overflow. This is so that if the overflow clogs from a snail, algae, a piece of Nori that floats away or whatever, the area above the waterline will still be clear and can still allow for the overflow and no flood.
Not sure if that was clear or not. Kinda confused myself! lol
