Hello all,
So I finally bought what will be my 1st SW aquarium. It’s a 90 gallon with a single corner overflow. The default plumbing it comes with is two holes for bulkheads; A Durso, then a return from the second bulkhead. My question is; would it be better to plumb the single Durso and the return from the second bulkhead, or would it be better to use both bulkheads for a Herbie, and plumb the return around d the back? Is the flow rate the same for the herbie and durso? Is the benefit if a herbie just the backup emergent drain, or is there more to it? Thanks in advance!
