Default Using a canister filter and an overflow for a sump?

You might want to save the expense of equipping that tank
with a sump, and put that money towards a larger tank in
the future with built in overflow.

It won't fit, besides I already have a couple of 10g tanks.

Can you fit a 20 gallon tank in there instead of a 10? a
20 gallon is 12.5 inches wide.

It's 46G Bowfront tank. I'm currently using a canister filter.

What size tank do you have?
Do you already have the canister filter?

Everyone knows buying a sump kit gets very expensive. However, the
benefits are great, from increasing the water volume to hiding all

the
equipment.

I was thinking on using a canister filter to pull the water from a 10G
tank
to the main tank and a hanging overflow to the 10G.

What do you think the drawbacks are if there's any?
