| View Poll Results: Where would you place two overflows | |||
| Right in the corners. You won't notice the lost viewing opportunities on the side. |

5 | 33.33% |
| Go with the back edge and keep the full viewing edges on the sides. |

1 | 6.67% |
| Go with the corners, but use a cup style. Compromise the viewing angle with still the most aquascaping options left open. |

| Nitwit! Go with one large overflow in the centre and stop deliberating so hard. |

Want an opinion re. placement of overflows
If you were going to put two overflows into a tank ...
would you place the overflows into the corner, knowing that this will lose you some viewing area on the side edges, or, would you place the overflows at say the 1/3 and 2/3 points (e.g., on a 6' tank, one centred at 2' and one centred at 4')? You won't lose the viewing edge on the sides, but it's more of a challenge to aquascape. or, would you place the overflows in the corners, but go with "cup" style overflows? I.e., the overflow boxes don't go all the way to the bottom. instead of the bottom being drilled, the back glass is drilled. To be honest as a compromise though, I'm not sure if this is the "best" of both worlds or the "worst" of both worlds.
