Hey everyone, Im in the process of ordering a custom tank from Miracles Aquariums and Im really stuck on the type of over flow to use on this tank and where to drill the holes, as of now I have the stand which measures 32x31.5 and has a hole in the top left corner (would like to use this hole for overflow). So the tank will be 30x33x25, it will be a rimless, with eurobrace, and starphire glass.
It will end up looking something like this (aside from the middle overflow area and the two holes in the front brace):

For the over flow, I was thinking of using something similar to "bean animal's" design. while still utilizing the rather large hole already in my stand, my idea is to have the whole back panel of the tank to be the overflow/return area, Im just not sure how big of a gap between the back panel of the tank and the overflow panel. Below I have a couple pictures to help show what Im talking about:

And another member has recently posted a picture of his beautiful tank which also has an overflow panel going across the whole back of the tank. Heres his tank for reference of what Im talking about:
