Im challenged with this step of a current build that is being drawn up.
I have a new 180 marineland tank i purchased, no holes. The reason i bought it with no holes was to go with a shadow overflow system ( on order).
This weekend ill be building a standand next is plumbing.
So my question is..... if i drill the tank for loc line return and install a bulkhead. How much clearance do i need from the back of the tank to the wall? I would think the distance of the bulkhead then a threaded coupler connected to a 90. Looks like in and around 4" if im not mistaken. Is this the only option? Or is there another way to makr the connection with less pieces?
If i go with over the back. What are some of the ways you could secure them to the tank? I will be starting a build thread soon as things start progressing. Some help in these preliminary stages would be great.
