That is what I have on my 15 G plant tank, Knuck. It works quite well 
The picture I posted is simplicity itself.
The screen won't clog unless you ignore it for months and months on end. Heck, I didn't clean it for at least 4 months and the only thing that happened is the water level in the main tank went up about a quarter of an inch.
When you shut the pump off it only drains to the bottom of the little screen thing.
The only thing I didn't like about it was it looks gaudy having white pvc in an all blue tank....

Bry, I think people are painting their PVC with spray paint. I believe they use Krylon Fusion. I could be wrong so I'd check first.
I am hitting Walmart and some other stores today. I'm betting I find a perfect overflow that is smoked and molded and will look awesome. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

That's beautiful
You can cut off just one part of the end.
That way it would be about 5 inches wide, and as deep as you want, what maybe 2-3 inches deep? and you just make it tall enough so that it goes from below your bulkhead to the top of the tank.
That is just perfect man
Get cuttin!

What pressure?
There is no pressure
Are you going to have it go to the bottom of your tank? Or just below your overflow?
the pressure on a container that small in a tank is really not that great, I don't think its an issue at all.
Of course if your tank was 8 feet deep and you were putting the overflow all the way to the bottom it would be worth thinking about....
Cut er up man, comeon I wanna see some chips flyin!

Do you have a dremel?
If not, do you have a rotozip?
If not do you have a hacksaw? It will be slow but far better than a regular handsaw
the last thing I can think of is a jigsaw, you need a metal cutting blade though, and the saw needs to have a magic circle in it (one of those things so you don't get rip out while cutting)
You don't have a band saw do you? I'd cut it on mine but its a bit of a drive.......
If you could get a wire hot enough you could cut it with a wire -- don't try that, it sounds dangerous although I think it would be fun
