Id do Tunzes as well... if you plan them in at this stage, you can have baffles arranged like fake overflows to hide the tunzes inside. All you need is the hole size to match up with the tunze outlet so you can just plug the tunze right in. It makes the tunzes pretty much their own little closed loop, but much simpler to clean and much more effective/efficient. You could put a box in each corner, maybe one in the center as well, and have 3 tunzes in each one or something... this would give massive flow. concentrating their outputs into two or three points will provide more flow than if you put individual pumps all around the tank blowing this way and that...

Ill try to find some 'example tanks' of people who have done the hidden tunze baffles if I can...
