The tank is 150 gallons. What type of overflow should I use. Currently going for center trapezoid. But I want to hear other peoples opinions. Possibly a corner. Or double corner. I want whatever will be the best. Thanks!

There is a chance that placement will not be important In determining success of your aquarium.

Doesn't really matter where you put it. Corner will cut off a side and middle may be intrusive towards center of aquarium. You could do a Ghost Overflow/external overflow I'd your going to have it drilled. This all depends on the dimensions of the 150 also...and where you're viewing it from

I centered mine, went with a 3 drain bean animal overflow for safety and redundancy. I opted for an Exotic Marine overflow, I liked his design, build quality, and Taylor was super helpful every time we corresponded.
