The top of the 2 bulkhead fittings (1") on my 75 gallon tank are about 3 1/2" below the water line. For a Herbie drain, the main drain line (siphon) will be ~3" below the water line, most web sites recommend 6". The drain lines are 1" Sch 40 PVC.
I just got a Quiet One Lifegard Model 3000 Pump, max flow rate should be around 550 gph, I can turn down the output but unsure of the minimum flow rate.
Will a Herbie drain work on this setup with 3" between the main and emergency lines?
I could install a 90 elbow, pointed down on the main drain line to increase this distance, would that work?
Thanks
Mark
