Hi everyone, so I am moving my 90 gal overflow tank. I had a thought and wanted to see the pros and cons of this. My tank now has a corner overflow with a 1" drain and a 3/4 return that goes to a 30 gal sump/refugium. I just installed the tank in my office wall and all of the equipment is now in my garage so I have tons of room.
I was thinking of using my 3/4 return bulkhead as a drain also, and then installing either a new drilled bulkhead/return line, or just a return loc line piece that goes over the top of the tank. The tank background is painted so it wouldn't be a problem seeing exposed piping. Is there any drawback from doing this? I figure it will give me some nice turnover. My return pump is a mag 18 so I know it has plenty of juice.
