Depends how fast the water is coming down from the display I suppose.Thoughts and opinions needed! I was planning on having a 1" or 3/4" bulkhead on the side, and toward the top of the return section (placement doesn't really matter) -- for overflow protection, in case my display back-siphons a few extra gallons. I would plumb this directly into a floor drain, with a flow sensor that would send an alert if water ever started going through that pipe.
In terms of sizing -- what is the smallest bulkhead size I could get away with? We aren't talking about pressurized backflow, just a slow steady rise, spread across the entire sump area (not just the return). If the water level rose too high, would a 1/2" bulkhead cut it? 3/4"? 1"?
By my calculations, a 1/2" or 3/4" bulkhead would actually do it, but I wanted to ask the brain trust here. Thanks!
Awesome build. Yeah these pictures were a huge help for me understanding what you went forMore drywall shots -- this helps explain how the fish room connects to the rest of the house
