I am finishing up the plumbing on my 75g. I have the CPR CS102 overflow going to the sump and a magdrive 12 for the return pump. The over flow has 2 - 1" bulkhead that I plan on putting 1 1/4" PVC or flexible tubing on. (I heard bigger=less noise) Question: Should I have a ball valve on the overflow?
The Return pump will be 1/2" flexible tubing with a ball valve and union up to the top of the tank. From there, it goes to 1/2" PVC pipe and splits into 3 outputs using wye connectors (less restrictive than elbows) with each output having a ball valve and lockline.
Also, for water changes, I have a LARGE 55g trash can with heater, mag12 and powerhead to keep water at right temp and salt dissolved. The equipment will have the unions set up in such a way that I hook the new water to the return line and the overflow to a long hose leading to a drain. Question: What to do with the old water? Down the sink, tub or outside patio drain?
