I'm setting up a tank that is going to be filtered through a sealed sump. The only thing I can't decide on is how to handle the overflow. I want something that is going to be very clean looking and won't take away from the aesthetics of the tank, but it also needs to be quiet and not require excessive maintenance.

Any ideas?

Edit:
I just wanted to add that the idea I am currently toying with is an external coast to coast overflow(as in attached to the exterior of the tank. This would be ideal, but I am worried that you would be able to see the plumbing from inside the tank. Thoughts?
