Unfortunately my tank is not drilled.So I bought a Eshopps overflow(800GPH) online that arrived yesterday.I noticed it came with a standard 1" bulkhead with only external threads and slip fit internal.
I have some extra 1" bulkheads with internal/external.
What's the best way to hook up to the bulkhead?
Should I avoid a hosebarb and flex tubing to the sump?
Same question on the return?
I plan on coming through the floor with ridged PVC for return/drain and then hooking to this.
I have a 75 gallon stock tank ready for a basement sump.
Along with a Gen-X Mak 4 for return.
Just want to try and get this right the first time.
Hope to get this working and then eventually go with a larger RR tank.
