I dont have a picture of mine yet, but hard plumb pvc to a 90 degree elbow over the top of your tank and reduce it to Loc-Line. You can add different nozzles and even Y's to split the flow to go in different directions. This is the cleanest look IMHO!

You don't want to restrict your overflow, only your return, thats what will dictate your overflow GPH.
