Overflow GPH for 125 tank w/ 40 gallon sump?

[mikebusc]

I drilled my current tank 40BR, and put the eShopps overflow center. It would have driven my type A nuts having it off center or on one side.

I've been thinking about this again and the question I have is besides the aesthetics of the overflow would having it in the rear to one side or another or on the short side of the tank be bad for the tank itself? Or is it the same wherever it is?

There no issue at all. Like I said, I’m just Type A.

If you have a specific flow pattern you have in mind that could influence the location.
