Building a tank?!

[toolz2]

my assumption is he bought a tank with the canister filter setup and now he wants to add a sump

I like to have the return water coming back into the tank, as far from the water leaving the tank as I can. Which is on the other side of the back wall.
On my 50 the water returns on the left, the water exits on the right.

If any changes need is needed to the return line, it's easier to get to.

Nana asked why he didn't go with a drilled tank and my understanding was he was using a canister setup. And likely doesn't want to tear whole thing down to drill the tank. Maybe I miss understood her question?

Totally makes sense. Which how I like it also. Which is how my HOB fuge runs now
So corner over flow and opposite corner return that coupled with my existing MP10 should give me plenty of flow. Well depending on my return pump that is.
