Ordering Reef Tank - Where will my holes go?

Hey guys

After having my 4x18x24 up for 7 months and being comfortable with the hobby I made a few stupid mistakes. One being going away for the weekend (and not seeing the obviously wide open 20mm return line) and not quarantining from the word go with my tank. Needless to say I lost $300 livestock and alot of pride in over 3 days.

But learning from my mistakes, and having a chance to now get a proper drilled reef tank, I've decided to upgrade to 4' x 2' x 28" tank and have it drilled. My question is where to place the holes. I've been looking over sites in all my spare time and I've yet to find a decent site with info on hole positions. I'm not sure if i should go for an overflow box in each corner, and return and inlet holes drilled at the bottom of each... Or go for a single overflow box in the centre, with one or two inlet pipes at the bottom and two returns drilled into the back wall of the tank to fit locline pipes to.

I'm pretty lost. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Would really like to get the tank built, drilled and stand to suit before I go overseas in 3 weeks, then when I get back I've got a week or two off to setup the new tank and transfer everything.

Cheers guys
