Though unable because the way I display my tank, seems the coast to coast the best or even partial such as untamed http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showt...&highlight=400

Another interesting concept was what Dale has in this thread: http://216.187.96.54/vbulletin/showt...light=overflow

RC has a calculator for a smooth weir, and if you're interested send me a PM as I've got similiar for a slotted weir (I got fr RDO)

One thing to consider with an external overflow is the space available behind the tank. My tank is about 2" from the wall, and that was where I wanted it. That ruled out an external overflow. A corner overflow is easier to hide IMO because it's typical to have a tall rock structure on one side whereas a tall structure in the middle isn't as attractive. I consider a coast to coast overflow but then I've got the entire back side of the tank using up the available width. I'm sure it skims better but I wouldn't want a shelf running the length of my tank. If I could go external that would be a good thing, but not internal. Again, these are all just opinions.
