Been a while since I've been here on RC. I am currently in the process of having a custom glass aquarium built. The dimensions are 70"L x 36"H x 34.5" D. It will be set up as a 360 degree view tank. I have the drawings attached below. The overflow will be a dual overflow with separate overflow boxes and a "dry" chamber in the center to allow for electrical, ventilation, etc to go through the center of the tank. There are going to be 1 3/4 and 2 3/4 inch holes drilled at the bottom of each overflow.
My question is, how would you recommend plumbing the drains? Should I do a herbie with a siphon on one overflow box and an open standpipe on the other box with a return in each box? Or should I do a bean animal with a siphon and emergency on one side and an open standpipe and single return on the other side?
The tank has not been built or drilled yet, so things can be changed.
