Hey Squidd even the lines that go OTT can't we use clear pvc for the small section going down into the tank???
That's a possibilty, and would work great with the O/M "cotroling the flow" (giving it alternating direction)...
But for "phase one" (continous flow) I'd like to see some Loc-Line adjustable spreaders to be able to "manualy" adjust flow direction..At least on the two front top C/L returns....
The center rear S/F return could be clear though...
Know of an outlet for "clear" 90* and 45* elbows...??

Hey Leona can I get a blueberry muffin????LOL Seriously Squidd where you asking about clear 45 or 90 elbows??? If so they can be obtained from Custom Aquatics for sure.... What is the biggest you can get the loc line in???

Total.. 5 holes...5 bulkheads...2 overflows installed
With or with out Euro bracing...the other 3 "returns go OTT (over the top) and do not need holes or bulkheads...
Let's do it.........
With two overflows in each corner.
How big will the overflows need to be?

So we're all set on this..???
Euro Bracing, two overflows (about 4x6) 3 holes in back for C/L, OTT with S/F return and 2 C/L outlets...??
Acrylic51...I don't have specs on schd 80 bulkheads..I need the O.D. of the flange and washer on a 1" bulkhead to make sure it "clears" in the overflow...

Well we're "almost" to page 11....
The "back" view has not changed...with the "exception if the "hole" sizes for schd 80 bulkheads...if you go that route...
Tom will know what size drill to use if you tell him you want schd 80 stuff..
You still want one 1 1/2" bulkhead in center and two 1" bulkheads lower corners...
