Center overflow or Corner overflow?

hipertec · 03/18/2006, 09:12 PM

Looking to get a new 135 gallon glass tank. Should I make it a center overflow or a corner overflow?
Are there any advantages from one or the other?

i like center, that way if you are looking at the tank from the sides you are not looking at an overflow box....

Depends on where the tank is going for the exact reasons Gabriel mentioned. If the tank is going into a corner, match the overflow to that side of the tank. If it's viewable from three sides, center overflow.
