New 125 - Center or Corner Overflows?

[Deepsouth]

Should I get a center or corner overflows on my 125 gallon? I know most 125s have corner overflows, but I like the maintenance aspect of center overflows. What do you think?

I like the corner overflow.. the middle overflo get in the way of the view of the tank..

It depends on where the tank is. If visible from both ends, a corner overflow is less appealing because it takes about 1/4-1/3 of the end wall. If the tank is in a corner, definitely go for a corner overflow though.

My 75 has a corner overflow, and to be honest the obstructed view on the end doesn't bother me much at all.

Also, on a 6 foot tank, you are going to have to lean over the top to access an overflow in the middle of the tank instead of at the corner.

The tank will be down a wall where you will be able to see in the overflows.

My preference;

twin corner overflows
or
center overflow

Not a fan of the single corner overflow.
