Thanks for all the advice. It sounds like if I have the tank built I should go with a corner overflow.
To be honest the 45G was double what I was going to start with. I have a new 20G with a 15G for a sump that I was going to set up but felt that would be too small.
I'm actually suprised to hear that 45G is considered a nano!
The space I have available is in my kitchen and the footprint of the tank can't be any longer that 36". The space is deep though, 24" and ideally would have a height of 18" or less. That means max gallons would be a little less than 70 and to get to 70 I would need a custom build. Or I could get a 3' 50G and have it drilled.
Maybe I'll keep my eyes open for someone selling a custom tank close to those specs and if nothing comes up have the 45G or 65G tank built.
