@zenkk just my opinion but I like Options 2 and 4 the best since they try to get flow on the left side of the overflow box. Is there a reason you can’t put the return nozzle on the left side? Then a wavemaker by itself might cover everything to the right of the box — depending on rock

My purpose is to have a tank in the middle of living room. Its be nice to make it 4side viewable.
