recently bought a 90 gallon reef ready aquariumwith an offset overflow my question is what is your experience with it is there many problems with flow getting to all areas of the tank do I have to worry about this should I change the location of the overflow if able to. I also bought a 75 gallon with a corner overflow. which one would be better to use if I was not able to change the overflow location in the 90 gallon

This is my previous 90 gallon (pic is several years old but it's one of the few I could find that shows the wavemakers, etc.)
I kind of liked the space on the left between the overflow box and the edge... Kind of a cryptic zone, lots of cool critters lived there :)
I liked it so much that I asked the custom builder who made my current tank to position the overflow the same way, but it would have blocked the bracing.

I had a split return and 2 wavemakers... sorry, the mag float is partly blocking the power head on the left.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
