I am having tank drilled (internal). I can pick the size and amount of drain / return (bulkheads).
I was thinking (4) drilled holes; 3 for drains and 1 for return (?).
I am highly considering a Bashsea sump, 3 drains at 1.5”. So I would have the drains in tank (bulkheads) drilled to match 1.5” (?).
For a return pump, I was highly considering Varios 8, it’s specs say 1.25” outlet, But I was going to match the 1.5” pvc drains and just reduce line at pump (?).
Various 8 rated at 2700 (I estimate a 9ft head loss, online calculated rated a 0 loss??).
240g tank, 72x32x24
Redundancy / back up discussion aside, is this single pump enough for flow return?
If I need or choice to run two return pumps, should I have 5th hole drilled??
Should I consider another return pump (or sump?)? Any suggestions highly appreciated.
240g tank ; 2700 gph return pump would give me just over 10 times turn over (?). Am I looking for 20-40 times turn over??
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
