Hello All,
I am working on plumbing a new 40 breeder and had a few questions. This is my first tank so I want to make sure I am getting it right.
I have this overflow box: https://www.marinedepot.com/marine-depot-elite-overflow-box-w-holesaw-drill-bit-large
When doing some test fits the highest I can get the box in the tank without the rim getting in the way the bottom of the weir is lower than the edge of the rim. I am worried about the water level of the DT. Will this be a problem that this does not line up? If I put it in and the water level is below the rim how would I go about raising the water level?
The overflow has 1 inch returns and I will be doing a bean animal config. For the returns should I do 1 3/4 inch return or 2 1/2 inch? I like the idea of 2 smaller returns. I was thinking of doing a run of 3/4 from the return pump, then split it to 2 1/2 inch going to both the returns. Most of it is for symmetry reasons.
