Do you mean like ADA Style? Single pole?
I will be able to make, but using 1/2" pipe.. will be slimmer than ADA design.. but I have not test out before.. you keen to be the first?

Great idea, how can we apply it.

You referring to the overflow? I put on my tank so when I do my water change, I just pump in new aged water into the tank, and balance water will overflow and go into the pail..
Advantage is I can do water change on 4 tank at the same time... and the new aged water could be slowly drip into the tank, which will slowly reduce the parameter change for my shrimp to adapt to it..
