I did think about notching around it too. I think next time I order from BRS I'll order a couple of corners and do that.

Haha, I do both in one of my tanks. I have a Y in my loc line with a wide nozzle near the top for surface agitation and a flow accelerator lower down. The top one also stops a syphon to ensure my sump doesn't overflow during a power outage.

On a rimless, through the back wall for sure. That's why you chose rimless right, to have a sleek, clean look.

I was waiting to drum up the courage to drill my filled tank but instead went with a Vertex Mocean...love it.

Actually the eurobrace is better. I have 2 tanks, one rimless and a eurobrace. With the eurobrace, I have a drilled hole to take the return line and hold it solidly in place.

High enough for some surface agitation, but low enough to not splash or create noise

+1 me too
