Hi all,
I have a pretty straightforward question and you would think I could figure this out on my own, but alas here I am. I'm in the process of setting up a 60g cube and the sump is in my basement. I'm using a 90 gallon tank that was previously drilled on the bottom (I removed the overflow) and I would like to use these holes to plumb in the line out to my external pump (1 will be emergency line should the other get clogged). My question is this: After I put in my baffles to create a return section, will I be ok to use the two holes on the bottom to feed my pump with just simply having strainers on the bulkheads? Or do I need to put in small durso standpipes to control the water level? I've looked everywhere to find a picture of this but everybody seems to have drilled a hole in the side of the tank. For whatever reason, I cannot picture how the water level in the return section will be if I just use the bulkhead w/ strained option.
Thanks for any help!
