Bean Animal Plumbing on a 240 Gal Tank

Hello guys! I am about to start setting up my 240 gal tank that's been sitting in my living room for months now. I currently have a 150 gal. The 240 has two overflow boxes with two returns and two drains each for a total of 4 holes under the tank for each box. It was suggested to me to do the bean animal overflow. My questions are as follows...

1. Would I have to cut out the existing overflow boxes?
2. Could I do a bean animal within my overflow boxes and still make it quiet ?
3. Does anyone reading this live in Dallas?

Just think of your 2 overflow boxes as one and it will be more straightforward.

Use one of the larger pipes for the siphon or both if one can't handle your return.

And then pick a small pipe for durso and a small pipe for dry emergency.

I would use the 4ty pipe as a durso as well for better noise reduction
