The filter sock is affixed to the sump and the drain pipe from you overflow will simply pour into the filter sock. This gets particles out before they even reach your sump/fuge.

In my signature is a link to my tank thread. The 2nd or 3rd pic is of my sump. On the left there is flexible tubing coming from the overflow (looks like vaccum tubing). Follow it to the right of the picture where it is plugged into a 90 degree white pvc elbow. The water dumps out the other end of the elbow like a waterfall and into the filter sock which you can see in the picture also below.

two of my buddies use a 1-1/2" drains. The just get the kind of sock that has a drawstring. They just slip the sock of the end of the drain hose.

I have 1" drain lines. I was looking at these:
