Hi guys, first of all, let me say that I actually have a freshwater tank (300g), but seeing that there are so many knowledgeable le people here I figured that I could humbly ask for advice.
My tank cannot be drilled, so I'm trying g to make a DIY overflow, my goal is to have a sump with a pump of 1500gph. Do you think a 2" pipe will keep up with said gph rating? This is the design I came up with after watching some YouTube vids, but they all rely on a smaller hose drilled onto the top of the pipes to siphon the water. I don't think I can find such a big hose, nor if it's practical. Do you have any suggestions on how I can complete this project? I was about to give up and just buy an fx6 but decided to keep trying.
