Hi guys. I was hoping to drilll my tank today and need some input. Be gentle on the design and drawing lol.

I plan on an overflow box that runs most the length of the tank to feed a sump and closed loop system. The center hole would feed the closed loop lines. Upper right hole feeds sump. Upper left is sump supply. Kinda simple I guess but not sure if i'm overlooking something or if it's an effective layout. Thoughts?

Also, at the moment, i'm thinking of skipping the oceans motion for now.


On a sidenote: is there a more effecient/quieter pump option than a Dart with equal performance? Just curious...
 
If you're gonna just use one return, at least split it up with some loc-line or some similar. And using an internal overflow for a closed loop is NOT a good idea. You'll want to drill lower down, impliment a pool-style inlet strainer like I linked originally and draw directly off the tank. You can hide the strainer behind some rocks if you like.
 
i was trying to avoid that gargantuan filter by plumbing through the overflow and wouldn't have to worry as much about critters getting in it, or so I thought but... advice noted/taken :sad:
 
Yeah, its kind of lame but remember, you're gonna be flowing multiple thousands of gph through it. Most overflows, even tank-length ones can't handle that much flow
 
so is that design ok if i just move the closed loop intake to just under the overflow?
