I am working on setting up a 240g aquarium (get the tank Sunday and want it up and running within 6 weeks).
I used to help move and set up a lot of tanks and a few of the larger ones that were installed/set up by larger companies used a vent system on their drain lines to minimize bubbles in the sump by allowing air to escape up right before the water entered the sump rather than it being forced into the sump causing excess salt spray.
They looked something like this:
So essentially instead of using 90s or 45s they installed Tees which allowed the air to escape up and having the water fall down.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience running this style of drain plumbing and if you could give me your pros/cons.
Thanks in advance!
