Sorry, Kien, you're out of luck here
But my loc-lines go both ways

Haha, I do both in one of my tanks. I have a Y in my loc line with a wide nozzle near the top for surface agitation and a flow accelerator lower down. The top one also stops a syphon to ensure my sump doesn't overflow during a power outage.

On a rimless, through the back wall for sure. That's why you chose rimless right, to have a sleek, clean look.

I was waiting to drum up the courage to drill my filled tank but instead went with a Vertex Mocean...love it.

High enough for some surface agitation, but low enough to not splash or create noise

+1 me too

I have a screen top on my tank and my loc line goes beneath the surface. I just cut a small hole for the loc line to go through the mesh. Looks tidy and stops anything from jumping out. I think you'll regret it of you have your return above the surface.....it will get messy and be really noisy.

Ok so it works that way, you just gave me the answer i was looking for thanks. How do you take off your screen when you want to work in your tank? Can you post picture ? Thanks

Yeah it works really well. I have enough room under my light that I can lift up the front of the mesh top and get my arm in. If I need to do anything more substantial then I just turn off my return pump, detach the loc line and remove the whole screen top.
