It was this big... Now its this big...

hey there happy friyay, tried digging through the thread to find the answer but well its your thread. Your overflow for the big tank...what is it called. Looking of possibly going that route.
I run a bean animal. Main drain, secondary, then emergency. If you are asking what the build is its a coast to coast short side.
 
ok smarty i need a picture too on how its plumbed.
Outside pipes are returns. Then 3 drains in the middle. Returns are 1 inch. Returns are 1.5. Front to back is return, emergency, main, secondary, return.

and the returns go through the same box as the drains. I just cant "see" it in my head. I am looking at the gc build site and see the coast to coast and the ones with the return holes on either side. i think i am over thinking it

THANK YOU!!!
 
I run gate valves (not ball they suck) on primary and secondary drains. Emergency is wide open. I can force over 3500 gph through my overflow with no chance of overflowing the tank.

Yes, 5 holes in overflow box.
