I picked up a 125 and its time to start setting it up. Its replacing my 55, so I need to get it going on the faster side and take the other one down (all about keeping the wife happy).

First couple of questions. Its a drilled tank and I would like to go with a sump. I have three drilled one inch holes.

1) Should I put in a overflow or just go with standpipes?

2) I have been looking at setting up the standpipes similar to "Durso" standpipes. Are there any other designs I should look at?
3) If I go with the Durso design, Do I need the down facing elbow or can I just go with the T?
