#1. just in case you want to cover up the overflow.

Design #2 For me. It looks more "finished" rather than an "add-on" overflow.

1 is the standard, a tank builder will question the reasoning for design 2. Also I'd make the overflow extend down further, not much room for standpipe design.

1. might be stronger since there return holes are not drilled in a 5x5 section on the top left/right of the pane 2. improved surface skimming but don't worry, I have reasons for design 1 as well, lol. |

I like design #1 as you wouldn't have go over the top somewhere for the returns.

As for improved surface skimming, you may be right but 20" is pretty big already. I good alternative if this is what you're looking for is take design 1 and increase the length of the overflow and move the return lines into the overflow like design 2, then you accomplish both your goals. |

Do you mean extend them, but not all the way to the ends? I'm going to have a tee and an elbow in there for each of the three drains, so I have to make sure there is enough room.
