Oceanic or AGA Overflow question

[Scuba_Steve]

What size drain and return are on megaflow overflows? Are they threaded? Does anyone use the drain and the return both as drains to improve flow?
Thanx,
Steve

What size tank? I'm not sure if they get larger with bigger tanks, but mine is 1" drain, 3/4" return and it's a 72g. The drain is slip, the return is threaded. Yes, but why would you need to push that much water through them? The 1" drain is rated at 600gph. I think on the 120s and above they have 2 megaflows so that would be 1200gph.

The tank is going to be a 105, which I believe only has one set. Also, how do you stop the drain from leaking if it is only slip?

You "slip" on the tube going to your sump and tighten w/ a steel gasket.
