I've been serching and using the calculators.
My new 125 in-wall tank is almost... well, in the wall. I'm starting to explore my plumbing plan.
I have the sump and return figured out. Will be using the 2 standard AGA overflows with 1" drain and 3/4" return in each. The drains go to a 10gal fuge, a 29gal sump and an attached 10 gal pump tank. This will flow between 600 and 800gph depending on pump.
What I need help with is a setup for a closed loop. I want to keep good flow my goal is to have a healthy tank for some acros and clams. I heard 20x turn over? Is this a good goal for flow?
I have accepted the fact that I will need to drill my tank :eek1:
How many holes and of what size do I need to drill to accomodate say 2000 - 2500gph. My first thought is 2 @ 1.5" drans in the back tank wall about 2/3 up. Then 4 @ 1" holes 3/4 of the way up. 2 of these on the back wall and one in each end wall.
This sound right? Any suggestions?
Thanks
