Return setup

[xrayjeeper83]

I wanna get some opinions on how to set up my return. I'm thinking herbie on the two 2in bulkhead and a water change line on the 1.5in bulkhead (will be connected to the one at the top). Here's a pic so you can see the lay out

Guess it helps if I tell you which is which.

2 outer ones are the 2in, middle one and the one at the top are 1.5in

My system has the same drilled hole layout and I did the herbie. All you hear is a light trickle if you've got the drain set / adjusted properly. I used a gate valve on the drain becuase you have more control when adjusting the water level in the overflow.

Did you use all three?

 

[Jimbo662]

yep, on my the left is the main drain, middle is return and right is the emergency drain.

Did you leave them the full 2in or did you choke it down at all?

i think drains were 1 1/2" and i left them at that.
