cool. I was considering for my next build a false bottom with at least a small pondish area to allow for siphoning as needed just to make it easier in the event that I need to siphon. I just have a drainage layer in my current tank and I am dreading the chance that it might rise high enough that I need to remove some water.

awelcome - you can do a drainage layer and install a tube into the drainage layer to use for syphoning as needed so you don't have to tear a corner of the tank up. You can also drill the tank and install a drain on the side of the tank so the water drains out as it rises.
