Just bought a 'Reef Ready' 180g. (2) Corner overflows with (2) drilled holes per corner.
I want to plumb the overflow drains and returns to my canister filters for a closed loop system.
The drains are 1" PVC using a straight siphon. Is this too much flow/pressure for a canister filter (fluval FX5)? I would hate to blow an O-ring and leak out.
The FX5 comes with 1" ID hose but I know from my previous tank, that a straight siphon can move way faster than you'd expect.
Thoughts?
