I'm still in the planning stages for my 5x2x2 low iron glass tank. I've been searching the forums for hole placement theory and am still very confused.
My thought was to have an overflow approx 18" wide and 6" deep shaped like |_______| Inside I was thinking of putting both returns and drains. I've seen tanks with the returns coming from what appears to be the top of the canopy. (Very clean looking) As opposed to coming from the middle through the rock and very visible or from the rear corners.
Is this feasible? I would think that if you we're going with either 1" or 1.5" holes, you would be limited to maybe five or six in an 18" span? Also, I wanted to run my electrical down one hole to hide my cables for my lights etc.. I was thinking about grey CPVC flex tubing to run through a bulkhead to have a clean look.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
