Ok, I used to have a 45g aquarium, not drilled, hob filter, cheap setup. Yesterday I bought a 233g reef aquarium with a center overflow. There are 3 drill holes. The seller included two drain pipes (with bulkheads?) and a return - return is easy...the drain is new to me. Been doing some reading but still have some questions. Why are the drain pipes different lengths? Should I use a different drain setup like a durso? I was going to buy new rubber o-rings to ensure good seals. Also going to buy new tubing for the return line.
I plan to buy a bunch of pvc and route everything to my fish room behind the tank. My thought was to use a lot of fittings and gate/valves - is there a generic guide to an optimal setup? I plan to pipe the drains and return, not much more (for now).
And lastly, yes I'll be cleaning all of it w water & vinegar.
