I'm preety happy how this came out so I figured I'd share. This is my coast to coast overflow box I designed it so the return which is in the middle runs right through the middle of the box that way I don't have to run the loc- line up and over the edge of the box I just think it will look nicer and it allows me to maintain a nice and thin box. I bought these preety nifty low profile strainers to cover my 2 drains too

I'm sure he's probably gonna use power heads? Though some loc line and added directional flow can never hurt:) more flow the better imho. Maybe a www.marinedepot.com/Hydor_FLO_Rotating_Water_Deflector_Internal_Wavemakers_for_Aquariums-Hydor_USA-HD01401-FIWMIW-vi.html

the current is going to take the easiest way which is flow to the front of the tank roll up and right back into the overflow. the powerheads will mix a little of it in but if deflected with the loc line would be so much better to get the filtered water to mix in the tank
