Hi all

Working with a builder on my first tank with a sump. Its going to be a 125g long with center herbie overflow. I was hoping to have 2 return nozzles drilled into the 2 sides of the overflow box rather than going over the top (similar to waterbox type). However, the builder is asking me for exact dimensions. I did a little research but hoping someone can provide some guidance. Is the best way to ask for a 1.5" hole for a 3/4" bulkhead, as high on the overflow as possible? Is 2 separate return nozzles with a T inside the overflow better than just getting one center return with a Y split nozzle?

Thanks!
