That is exactly how I have it drawn out (with the bends on the sides).

I thought it looked sleek, and it took up a bit less space.

I have the overflow (with 3 pipes because I want to try to squeeze a bean animal in there) on the back left, I have it sketched out to be about 7 inches along both sides of the glass. I have a smaller one on the right side of the tank for the return, which I am hoping will help make sure there are no icky spots on the surface.
