I am planning a 265 gal reef tank
I plan on doing a c-c or calfo overflow accross the entire back of the tank.
I was going to do (3) 1" bulkheads tee'ed and vented (durso style) with the 90 degree elbow in the overflow.
What 90 degree elbow connects to the bulkhead inside the overflow? Is it a 1" street ell ?
Will three of these 1" drains be enough?
I am going to have (2) 3/4" returns driven by (2) MAG 9.5 pumps.
Flow is not the main goal here...1000-1200 gph will suffice. After all that is all my PM Bullet-3 with PanWorld 150 will drive.
I have a Tunze 6100 w/7095 to go in the tank for flow.
I have read all the threads...none address such a large tank

Should I just got with 1.5" bulkheads? If so...how many ?
The reason I am thinking about (3) 1" bulkheads is because I can get the 90 degree elbow on the inlet making the actual overflow only 3" x6"...not too obtrusive
If I have to jump to the 1.5" street ell....I will have to make a considerably larger overflow in the aquarium.
Should I do (4) 1" bulkhead drains?....I do not know.
but I wanted to get more input....
Thank You
