I have no personal experience with this but many in the DIY forum have tried this method and found it just does not work.

I second what Mike stated, you do not want smaller open top containers below the 120. If/when you turn off your return pump the water level in all of the containers will go up and if not done right, the "bins" will overflow. Same potential issue with an auto top off failure.

As Mike said, put the "bins" higher and have the 120 as the lowest tank and put your return off of that.
