Drain bulkhead for a chaeto fuge?

What would you guys use for a drain bulkhead on a 10 gal chaeto fuge. I was planning on using a standard ¾” bulkhead. But I could imagine this thing getting clogged and overflowing. Is there a sponge or basket that would prevent blockage? Or maybe a 2nd drain higher up just in case?

My other thought is doing the DYI overflow using the half 6” PVC pipe as showed in the RC thread.
