OK, my 125 is drilled with 3x 1" bulkheads and a 55 under for the sump.
I'm using a c2c style overflow but I need to know how you guys would plumb this. I was told to hook the bulkheads up to 1.5" reducers and then just drop them right down into the sump with 45 degree bends.
Is this a quiet, reliable way to drain from the display? I don't want to have issues w/ gurgling and splashing sounds underneath...
Concerning my sump setup, should i just simply seperate it into 2 section, the drain/skimmer side and the return side? I've seen pictures on here of others sumps and they seem quite complex, but i wasn't sure why...
I've settled on an Eheim return, but what size should i get? This will be a mixed tank and i'll be supplimenting the return flow with a couple koralia 4's on a controller.
I'm a bit confused on how to plumb my return piping... i want to use a "bigger" return pump so that i don't need a bunch of PH's in the display, but i just don't know how to plumb this so that I can have two wide-flow return heads on each side of the tank (with the thought being a k4 on each side as well to supplement).
Any thoughts, comments, recomendations, etc. are very very welcome!
Thanks!
