Okay so the tank im ordering has one over flow on the left and the drain is gonna be at the bottom. The return hole on the top right (Im thinking better circulation). Does this sound logical?

If you are getting this tank made and you still have the option, I'd really consider having a 2nd hole drilled in the overflow next to the main drain. That way you will be able to put a gate valve or ball valve on the main drain and a standpipe in the other hole so you can run a herbie style overflow.

One hole for a drain!....I it were my tank I would have him punch an extra hole to do a "Herbie" style drain...you will be glad you did.... the return can be anywhere you want it... back wall, side wall, through the overflow box....up as high as possible

Oh.....and have fun with the new tank
