Sump/Overflow question

I am researching setup of a new system. Please see the attached photo of an aquarium drilled at two corners on the bottom(I hope the attachment works).

I am unclear if I can use a setup like this to run a sump at the bottom with my equipment(skimmer, thermometer, etc). Would I also need an overflow at the back or can I use this existing holes to do all of the necessary circulation?

i want to have as clean a look as possible as it will be in a main room of the house.

FYI that is a 77 gallon tank, approx what I am looking at.

Thanks for any info.

You can run a sump. Look up Durso overflow.
