I got a 75 gallon tank and I'm considering getting a synergy shadow overflow. My question is, how does everyone plumb their return lines? Suggestions, pics would be great.

I have the eshopps eclipse S overflow and its certainly nice, but the look doesnt even compare to the synergy overflow. If you dont care about looks the eshopps is a great choiceThat looks great! I think I'm actually going to try the Eshopps L overflow box. Basically the same thing, and half the price.
Did you notice any noise from the reduction to 1" drains? I have the emerald 34 and the shadow, but was thinking of drilling a 1 1/2" hole for the main drain and reducing the secondary drain to 1" so there's no noise. My tank will be in the Living Room, so quiet is a must.75 gallon marine land, I drilled,
16" synergy overflow,
Reduced 1.5" to 1" right at the overflow outlets
Trigger sump
1" return line
The first time I put it together I had a slow leak at the tank to overflow box because I didn't tighten the nuts inside the overflow box enough. Bought a belt pipe wrench and got it tighter.
