Question about Wavebox and New Tank

[MICHEAL1]

I am having a Custom Acrylic tank built, and have some questions about positioning the wavebox and concerns about the external overflow. The tank will be a Penisula tank with 1 external overflow.

The wave box will be positioned on one side of the overflow, with a stream 6200 on the other side. I guess my concern is when the wave is away from the overflow will it run empty? And when it comes back will the overflow, overflow? Tank size is 60"x36"x24". The overflow is 12"x5"x12". I know that the Wavebox is very adjustable and all, but now is the time to make changes to the plans, for in 10 days the building will start.

Thanks

Mike

Ideally the overflow is centered, with an end overflow you mainly get more noise. Now, if you push an incredible volume with your return pumps it is possible you could starve the overflow and I suppose it is possible you could flood it, I have never tried this with an external overflow.
