Read d2mini's notes on a center overflow at the beginning of the thread. His tank is over 36" wide and he didn't do one. Unless you just use PVC pipes sticking up out in the open, the overflow will take up a lot of space and you will not have much room on the sides for aquascaping. If your overflow is 5" square, that will leave you with about 9" of open area all around it. Not much room for stacking rocks.

Hoffy02 and phenom5 Thanks for the links..

trb thanks for the advise.... I'm thinking to use acrylic tube of 2" for overflow.

you are going to need more than 2" for you drain and return holes and to have adequet surface skimming.

nikon187.... right.
I already buy a SCWD 3/4 for closeloop ( 2 return holes con Loc Line ) and maybe the next month a will try to get 2 eductor or Flow accelerators.

Let me traslate all plan that I have to English... and I put here... for the moment I'm looking for more references to get a better idea.
