I'm getting ready to start a new build and trying to plan out the plumbing. The tank will be
36" x 18" x 20" custom made by TankmeUsa w/ their zero overflow. I have a couple questions:
-I'm thinking that 1" PVC should be adequate for the drains. Does anyone think I should go
with 1.5" drains?
-The 'default' for the tank would be two returns. I am considering just going with a single return
to simplify things on the plumbing, plus there'd be one less line-loc in the in the display (cleaner
look, no shading from the second line-loc). I will likely run a manifold off of the return for a
carbon/GFO reactor, add'l flow in the middle section of the sump (which will be a mini-frag
tank), and a third for doing WCs. Does anyone think I need two returns in the display?
I'm sure I will have more questions, but this is a start. Look forward to hearing what you all
think!
