I like #1
In #2 If your return is under water like that you will need to also figure out a way to stop the syphon when the pump shuts off

I would use a lockline to move it to the surface. It will be higher than the water level (or right at it)

I like #2 better. Technically it should be stronger since you don't have a corner cut into the glass that will be a stress point(even though there's very little stress with 1" of water). Lots of people with #1 though that works great for them.

Love the size of both though, very wide. Will make a great reef.
