It sounds like your sump under your tank, so valve placement shouldn’t matter. Most people put it closer to the sump inside of the stand for access reasons. U don’t really want it behind the tank but as long as u can reach it it will work, just harder to get to.

My sump is directly under the DT. The plumbing from the overflow falls directly vertical to the sump. However, the overflow is on one end (it is going to be a peninsula display) so access will definitely be easier in the sump compartment as opposed to against the wall. Just wanted to make sure that if I plumb the valve lower it wouldn't affect the syphon.
