Hey guys,

Going to be placing an order for a custom tank at miracles this week but need some help determining what size bulk heads to use.

Tank is 30x30x12 (about 45 gallons).

Will be using a ecotech vectra m1 pump (variable flow rate)

Sump approximately 15 gallons water (haven't decided yet)

Will be mostly sps dominate and no fuge.

What flow rate should I be aiming for for circulation through sump? And what size bulkheads would be needed for the external glass overflow and 2 returns (either side of overflow)?

Will have 3 holes in external overflow for bean animal install.

Your advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Thinking 3 1" bulkheads for overflow and 2 3/4" line for returns???

There is never a good reason to use smaller return lines. Go with all 1".
