I do like the clean look of central overflow, but I found the return line to block off the light a little at the middle of the tank. How much would it cost for two overflows like how you would want ? You basically, will end up with 1 drain x2, 1 emergency x2, 1 return x2. I think you return pump would have to be powerful.
My sump from Concepts was 48x22x16. Three compartments. 7" filter socks. For ATO I went to Canadian Tires and bough a 60L Omi Box. I originally wanted to put ATO in the stands, but I ended up putting it outside. I am glad I did, it makes it a lot easier to fill up water.
My stands is 32" tall.
If I have to do it all over again, I would go with central external overflow with 1 drain, 1 emergency and 1 return. But then, I wouldn't be able to put the actual tank closer to the wall; and if the plumbing leaks, I would get water all over our hardwood floor. Then my wife would get really upset. lol
good luck. I think you owe us a build thread.
