Center or Corner Overflows???

Which ones look better?

all depends on the overflow
either way its all personal choice... there is no "right" answer..

The best way of choosing is in how you want to decorate your tank or where the tank is located in the room. For a tank with a rock pile in the center, a center overflow is best because the rocks will help hide the overflow. If you are going to have a show piece of driftwood (etc.) in the center, you wouldn't want a center overflow to distract from the decorations, so dual end overflows would be ideal. If the tank is a "peninsula" tank or room divider, a single end overflow perpendicular to the tank would be the best choice.

I ended up getting the center overflow for all the tanks. It just looked cleaner than my corner overflow tanks.

My 2 AG tanks are not drilled for an overflow... I am using canisters at the moment and really like the clean look of the Megaflow and thought...

Why can't I just get the black plexi covers from AG to use to hide the "gear" in the tanks..? I just asked my LFS if AG will sell just the overflow cover peices...

Now I am wondering if a local plexi shop could just produce them.... and would it be less than AG would charge...?

Anyone ever pursue this type of use before...?

PS/ Any glass tank I get in the future will come as a megaflow type setup....
