Flow Pattern Help

[bwbixby]

Getting ready to have my new tank built and after watching a wavebox in action at a friends house, I gotta have one.

Those are basically my 2 best options that I have come up with.

The tank is going to be nestled in a corner and have very little room to work with as far as extending out any direction beyond the glass. The tank is going to be 48x22x20 trimless but Eurobraced. My thought was option 2 as than I can pretty much Hide the wavebox behind the overflow. But i have read some things on here about having the wave box by the overflow creating a possible problem. Any Info on would be greatly appreciated. Also how deep do i need to have the teeth routed out on the overflow to keep the drainage constient?

Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

How will you avoid the noise it will make from the water pouring down the overflow box everytime the wave hits it?

Using a durso with water level right at bottom of teeth

The ideal is if you can place the overflow centered on the back wall. In which case a minot variation of Option 2 would be best.
