Can anyone provide tips on plumbing a 125G with corner overflows? I am looking for pics or details as to how you ran the plumbing and what you would have done differently.

Any tank with corner overflows would work. I am just used to all the plumbing being out the back of the tank from custom built overflows. The sump will be a flow through design with the skimmer section on one end, a fuge in the middle, and the return on the other end.

I am leaning toward using some spa-flex to make things a little less rigid and reduce vibrations a bit.
 
I don't have any pictures of my 125 with the corner overflows but what I would different is what you suggested in using Spa Flex. It would really help with the noise. I have each corner drain in a separate part of my sump and the return plumbed together. Sorry I can't be of more help....
