I've been getting a lot of help on this project from a lot of users especially smb2415.
I am using the Bean Animal overflow which utilizes holes on the drain side. 1 full syphon 2 trickle back up 3 emergency backup
I am sure many of you have used this overflow before. This is for my 40 Gallon Breeder tank which I will use for cuttlefish. When I do my 72 gallon I will
use 1.5 inch bulkheads however on this I followed the diagrams from the Bean Animal site. In the diagram he uses three 1" bulkheads which is the same
size I used. However he uses a 1" to 1.5" increaser and then uses all 1.5" pipe
I just want to know..Should I use 1.5" pipe or 1" pipe with my 1" bulkhead and why?
I am assuming 1.5" will give more flow but will it be necessary for something as small as a 40 Breeder?
THANK YOU!!!
