i drilled a tray last night and installed 2 (1.25" bulkheads) my return line is 1" will the draining be ok? im debating on 1.5" but i already installed all bulkheads. i had a tank in the past with 1.5" drain and it was perfect. will my new ones also be good on flow?

thanks

Unless you've got a huge tank, flow through a 1" pvc line is plenty.

1" pvc is capable of 960gph of gravity fed flow
