Plumbing Help!!!!!

[antologia2007]

hi
i am in the process of buying my equipment and have come to the plumbing phase
ive been thinking about the plumbing of my aquarium for the past days, and like i have not seen an aquarium with plumbing yet i have no idea how it goes from the return pump to the DT
i have a 120 tank
with
ovf 1200gph
return pump of 1440gph planing on putting a valve
tank is not drilled
i now pvc is used
but thats all i know
does the plumbing have a special way of being set
does my design look ok?
any recommendations on how it should be set?
dont laugh about my pic i know i did

hey well quick question what kind of pump a in sump or external pump
if it is external is your tank drilled on the side?
I'd go with the two overflow hoses so you don't restrict flow down to your tank.
And depending on your pump you will loose some gph with the head so you may not need a overflow hose back down to your tank.

i will not have two ovf's there is exmple 1 and example 2 i wanted to know which would be better.
from what you wrote the 2nd example better
does the plumbing look good or do i need to make some changes
can i put hoses as a return instead of plumbing?
