return above or under

[gregzz4]

I can't vote as I have my returns semi-submerged and the loc-line is horizontal
High enough for some surface agitation, but low enough to not splash or create noise

Interesting. So would you say that you swing both ways then?

The siphon is no concer to me i have a check valve on the line, what was my interest was the fact that putting a screen on top of a rimless tank would interfear with a lockline going into the water, so that why i was interested in the input. i do know the consequence of splashing, noises and salt creep. I'm interested in people's dealing with those paricular problem and how they handle them. You can't buy experience. Thank you all for your input. Still not sure what route i'll choose yet.

Haha, I do both in one of my tanks. I have a Y in my loc line with a wide nozzle near the top for surface agitation and a flow accelerator lower down. The top one also stops a syphon to ensure my sump doesn't overflow during a power outage.

On a rimless, through the back wall for sure. That's why you chose rimless right, to have a sleek, clean look.

I was waiting to drum up the courage to drill my filled tank but instead went with a Vertex Mocean...love it.

Actually the eurobrace is better. I have 2 tanks, one rimless and a eurobrace. With the eurobrace, I have a drilled hole to take the return line and hold it solidly in place.
