Hi guys,

I have a 180 72x24x24 and am getting a custom sump made. What size of bulkheads do I need to use for the drains?

How big is your overflow box? How many drains do you have? How fast do you want them to drain? What size pipe is going to be under the drains?

these bulkheads are going to be on the sump. There are already bulkheads on the drains in the overflows

My return lines use 1" pvc pipes, but the drains just have a bulkhead with a barbed fitting on it
