Plumbing Question - Refugium Return - Preventing Impeller Shredding

I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to reefkeeping and am about to receive a 130D. In the meantime I am working on setting up an above tank refugium. The refugium has been drill with a small overflow and I want to return a 1 inch gravity fed return tubing line to the tank. My question is how to best go about this while preventing impeller shredding of the pods (i.e., not returning to the back compartment). Is there any low profile way to have the return enter the front tank directly, perhaps with a U-Tube?? Anyone have any experience with this?
