Over flow designs.

[AquaticFinatic]

Ok so I need help! Yes not just with the brain side lol.

I'm planning a new tank and would like to go external overflow but can't make up my mind for definite. Tank I think is going to be 6' 30" wide 26" tall. These could change. What's every ones thoughts. Thanks in advance.

My only regret on my tank is the overflow being internal rather than external. It blocks a lot of light and takes up a lot of space.

I went with an external, almost coas-to-coast overflow with a beananimal set up. Best set up ever!

Don't you think with an external at 30" wide that would push it out from the wall to far? How wide should an external be? 4-6".

My external overflow box, is 5.5 wide using schedule 80 1.5" bulkheads

I too did an external...not coast to coast but 75% the width....with bean animal...best thing ever...deadly silent.

So bean animal is the way to go I guess.
