so i picked up a nice 210gal today. the tank bottom is already tapped for a drain pipe. i have the bulkhead and 2" black pipe u see in the pics. my ? is, do i go with the single flat 3" drain, or the dual 3" drains sitting vertically. obviously they will have a strainer on the drains. please give me your thoughts and ideas. thanks.

Could be overflows, could be a hybrid UGF.
I think we need more information.
Either way if that assembly is going to be visible in the tank it's gonna be a whole lotta ugly.
 
It really won't matter either way. You will get the same flow and probably right about the same amount of noise.

I would personally put a durso or a Hofer on top of that pipe.
