Plumbing 60 gallon cube question

[davej]

I have just purchased a solana 60 cube and I am having a sump made up. I plan on making a durso standpipe as there is only one hole for draining. My question is in regards to best plan of action for piping under the tank. The sump will be 22" x 24" and in theory I could have the piping go straight down into the sump. Is a straight run down going to be my best course of action or would it be better to have a few bends to slow the water down a little?
Would love some input.
