Does it matter where you place internal overflows ? Im thinking ovetflows located at the corners of the tank would be allow easier access to adjust the stand pipes and mess with the water level in the over flow....thoughts ?
Two questions about drain and return holes.
1)Why is the return pipe/hole smaller than the drain pipes/holes.
Say i am going with 1.5 inch drains do i go with 1 inch returns or 1.5 inches ? And why ?
2) been talking to a couple of tank builders probably sound like an idiot cuz im new to this type of filtration but when im talking about the size of the holes i want drilled should i be telling them that i want to use 1.5 inch plumbing/bulkheads instead of telling them i want 1.5 inch drains ? If they drill 1.5 inch holes then im not gonna be able to use 1.5inch plumbing/bulkheads.
Or am i yet again overthinking this and they know what i mean ?
