How would you plumb this?

[sc8kv123]

As the title says, what would be the best way to plumb this tank?

A guy in the area is selling it for dirt cheap, it's a 75 drilled in the lower back panel on each side, 1.5" dia. holes.

Thank you

Once you turn the tank right side up the holes will be in the upper back panel lol :p

If anything you could plumb both for returns or cap one and use the other for a return. Then I would install a overflow box in the middle by drilling new holes

Yep, that tank is upside down.

@hybridazn I was thinking the same thing. could use a ghost return

you would never have to worry about water changes.

The ultimate auto water change system, really! As soon as you pour water in - it's out! Automatically! :D:D:D

(Ok it's late.)

I'd either cap them off and run the tank as an All In One, or use one as a drain and one as a return.

I'm leaning toward a Tunze Reefpack for my own "someday" build (bye bye sump and plumbing!).

If you wanted to use the holes, then you don't NEED anything more complicated than a Lifegard bulkhead with screen - there are different models to choose from and all are very low cost and dependable. You can find a parts list here to start your search:

...but there are also fancier alternatives from places like Tunze:
