i just got my tank thats 60x18x20 and im trying to figure out the best way to drill my overflows...i dont like standpipes really....what i was thinking was just cutting in like 2 or 3 1inch overflows at the top and using those screens that cover the bulkheads...what problems do you encounter with this method/ also is there a way make an intank overflow like the hang on the back kind with the slots/ that would hide the bulkheads...also need to know where to drill returns...going to be using mag12 and sump is 33 gallon long.

also plan on drilling a sequence dart into it for closed loop with 2 1.5inch intakes into a 2 inch and maybe an oceansmotions 4 way out....anyone currently using one/ how does it work/

Have you thought about painting the back of the tank? It would hide the bulkheads pretty well.
