72 gallon Bow build. never had a sump or drilled tanks.

My overflow is eshopps prodigy large.

trigger 26 sump.

dc return pump rated at 1300 gph

I was planning on 1" drain pipes, bean animalstyle, and 3/4" returns.

bulkheads on overflow and sump are huge? like 1.5" id

do I do reducers or change bulkheads or upsize pipe plans?

I thought that the Eclipse Prodigy L overflow had two 1.5" bulkheads (for water to move from tank to overflow) and two 1" drains (for water to move to the sump).

Which Trigger sump do you have (e.g., sapphire, ruby, etc.)?

told you guys it wasa noob question!!!! lol Ive been thinking Outside diameter this whole time during the planning stages.

Yes the Eshopps has a 1" drain ID but much larger OD.

Thanks for your time answering while I stumble my way through this.
