any one i need help
 
You could maybe cap off the bottom for the intake and run it down the side and just have the outtake ran through the bottom just a suggestion or use reducers to get it down to the size you want if you really want to run both the intake and outtake through the bottom
 
if i run the intake through the bottom how would i make the strainer should it lay close to the bottom or should i run it up then run it back down
 
click on this thread from here http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208917 There is more then one tank is then thread that has fx5's hard plumbed into there set ups the way you want to do it. Hell i just looked and ms mass poly has two set up that way on the first page of the thread. It shows the plumbing. But she is a great person and im sure will have no problem giving you any info you need if you ask her. go check it out thow like on said its on the first page
