Hey guys,
Planning a 240 tank (8x2x2). I'm debating whether to have:
(a) A single large overflow chamber in the centre.
What kind of size should I get this made? I was thinking of having two 2" holes (biggest the manufacturer can do), and two 1" holes drilled in the base .... two for waste, two for return. If I am to accomodate the durso standpipes, what size should I make the overflow chamber? Will 9" x 12" be sufficient?
(b) Two smaller overflor chambers at either end.
In this situation, I was planning a single 2" and single 1" hole in each corner. Again, what size minimum would I want for the chambers?
I am leaning toward the single larger chamber. It seems like it will take up less real estate, and at the same time ld you do different if you had the chance to redesign your tank?
Thanks for your input.
Regards,
Matt
