Hello all. Quick question for all you plumbing people out there. I am building a frag tank system where I want to use a 20 gallon long for the frag tank and use a 55 gallon as a sump. I plan on using this as only a frag tank and want to use the 55 just to help increase water volume to the tank.
My question is can I drill the 20 long and use a bulkhead with a strainer instead of an overflow box? I have the drill bits for a 1 1/2 drain and 3/4 return or vice versa. If I drilled it with 3/4 for the drain and return would there be an issue? Also trying to decide what pump I would need as well for that combination. And it would be traveling 4-5 feet from sump to return.
