Anyone have any experience with plumbing a neo nano? Trying to figure out what's going to be the most quiet.

I ordered 2 eshopps flex hoses to drain from the overflows. I was thinking about connecting them to the bulkheads in the back wall with 90's to the sump. Then using a 90 in the overflow box to point down. I've seen this in a thread online, but there's not much detail on what they did with the 90's in the overflow boxes.

I would imagine they have to have a hole drilled in the top to allow a steady flow without the water in the overflows going up and down. Does this sound like the best way to do it? Any better options? I will be using the corrugated flex hoses for sure considering I already bought them.

The main part I'm wondering about is on the down facing 90 in the overflow box and me drilling a hole to allow air to be pulled in. Mainly, what size hole and is it going to be silent or is it going to make an air sucking noise?

I did 1/4 inch holes with the plastic line we use on our ro water systems. Just drill the hole and insert the plastic line. No I have never heard a super quiet neo nano. Just so you know
