Mine is on the tank bottom, I used a 3 T fitting arangement and screens on the sides of the T's Your tank may just need one T. Hidden easily behind rockwork so you cant see it which I like

I agree, you can drill through the back and install a tee long leg going horizontal, install elbows on the ends of the tee pointing up to encourage the water to move in the same pattern.

OK here we go.

The returns will be constant flow from the sump, The closed loop will alternate from left to right, across the bottom of the tank. The drain for the closed loop will be just under the overflow. I dont want to place and tee in the tank as i dont want to see it. The aquascape im looking for will allow a Tee to be seen!:



Let me know what you think!
