Hey everyone, I have a question about installing an overflow for my sump

My tank dimensions are 55 gallons
48 L
13 W
24 H

So naturally, my tank is pretty long and narrow. I’ve seen people install their overflows on either end of the tank, but I wonder if this would be problematic in my scenario since my tank is 48 inches long and having an overflow on one side or the other, may not be the best

I’m thinking I should just try to center it on the back of the tank so that way there’s an even ISH 24 inches on other side of the overflow .

Does this even matter? Advice welcome - thanks!

This appears to be an accidental double-post… refer to your other thread for advice!
