Good morning R2R, I am just looking for some advice on my new-ish (restarting) tank setup. I didn't like the way the drain or return plumbing was set up so I am looking to switch it up. I have my return plumbing figured out but unsure on drain. The tank is a 300 gallon dual corner overflow with a 90 gallon sump. Unfortunately though the sump is only equipped with 1 eshopps 7" rectangular 300 micron sock filter. In the overflows I have a total of 4, 3/4" drain holes to work with. The old drain setup was a durso drain in each overflow and T'd together above the sump all draining to one sock. The problem with that was the DT would sometimes try and overflow. As a temporary fix, I T'd in a valve that I can throttle some of the water right back into the sump before it goes up into the tank on the return side. I am not so much worried about noise, but more so I want a high flow setup. The return pump is pushing 3,500 GPH before any losses.
