Plumbing a 120g

[renato120]

What would be best to plumb a 120g tank.
1.1/4 inches pipe, or just stick with 1 inch?
Thank you

If it has 2 overflows, 1" out will be more than enough. The returns are fine 1"

Mine is ine corner overflow. Do you think 1 inch its good enough?

How big are the bulkheads fittings at the bottom of the overflow. That's where it will restrict .

The bulkhead size is gonna determine how much water you could turn over from your pump. A single 1" bulkhead on a 120 is not a whole lot by gravity. You're probably gonna have to turn over as much as you can and augment the tank with power heads or propeller pumps.

Ok! Thank you for the help
