Overflow question.

[rickbrown85]

Can you have the overflow piping different lengths? The reason I ask is because I have corner overflows and the right overflow pipe will be a lot longer then the left.

Mine seems fine with different lengths (supply and return). I have a 180 and both corner overflows drain to one side of my sump near one end of the tank and the return pump is at the other side near the other end. I did include gate valves on the short runs in case I needed to restrict flow on supply and/or return to balance things but, I've not had to do this.
