Where are the overflows located in your tank?

they are on the left and right on the back wall of tank. Not sure if i should use 2 sepreate drain lines with 2 gate valves to controle the flow,or connect them at some point with 1 gate valve for tuning/

My tank is the same way with overflows in the corners. They are also at the bottom. My Skimz Sumpro 36 has a similar configuration with the drains on one end.

What I did is place the sump all the way to one end of my stand so the drain lines are equal length. Each have their own gate valve.

Tuning is easy. The only problem I have is my Sicce return pump will flow more water than the sump can put into the return chamber.
