Hey all, I’m getting an ADA tank this weekend and planning my (drilled) overflow. I have a few options to choose from but none of them seem to address return plumbing.

While I can drill the tank on the back and run a return separately, I was wondering if anyone knew of a clean overflow+return combination.

The tank is 4’ long and I would prefer a smaller overflow drilled through the back vs a tall overflow drilled through the bottom. That said, I’m used to the redsea style return where the overflow and return are all integrated.

Thanks in advance.

Check out what planet tanks use for their overflow and return for their rimless tanks. It looks pretty slick.
