You do that and your room will get wet first time the balance breaks e.g. power cut or snail decides to move in to your pipe.
Youll never have a proper balance.
Any overflow you would suggest for a mixed reef, 50 gallons.Youll never have a proper balance.
The overflow only facilitates as much drain as youre pumping into the aquarium. Up to its max flow rate of course.
Youll constantly need to tweak it so your tank or sump is not overflowing.

That’s exactly what I mean! LolWhat about a perfect vacuum sealed sump?! In-put and out-put would match. What would be the problems?

At that point wouldn't it basically be a canister filter?What about a perfect vacuum sealed sump?! In-put and out-put would match. What would be the problems?
I guess maybe a boxy one… maybe with more than just media I’m talking with some of the bells and whistles we use now… I guess good luck trying to use a protein skimmer with a canister filter… idk dreaming out loudAt that point wouldn't it basically be a canister filter?

You would need to station the pump in the display so it does not suck up more water then the sump can handle (should the sump pump fail at any time)
There are hang on stuff you can put to get a syphon going to your sump
Can I just empty 5 gallons or so so my water level is low enough, then drill with it full?Using 2 pumps to do this would be a disaster waiting to happen. It will fail. No question about it. Just do yourself a favour and get the tank drilled and add an overflow. It is not difficult at all to drill the tank. It only seems daunting because you haven't done it.
