I had a coast to coast internal in my last tank (5 ft) but in this one went to a smaller external overflow box. I'm much happier with the external box but am kinda wishing I had done a coast to coast overflow instead of just 12 inches. That being said, my wavebox would NOT work as well if i had done a coast to coast so I guess it's a bit of a trade-off

Ohh, never thought of that. A wavebox is in the plans. How does this affect things?

Tunze recommends a center overflow with the wavebox. I have a single external corner overflow with a herbie drain and it took me a long time to figure out how to deal with the wavebox and keep stable water levels.
