Weir Design
I picked up a 75 gallon that I am going to drill for a bean animal overflow. I think I have the hole placement figured out thanks to many of your replies.
This will be a peninsula style setup, drilled on the end of the tank. I would like to build the overflow box out of black smoked glass, and was thinking of building it with a 12"x4" 'footprint' I did a rudimentary sketch of it that I attached.
This would give me a 19" weir length, so a little more than what I would have with a coast to coast on the end of an 18" tank. I can also do a coast to coast, if there is a reason that it would be better than this design that I am unaware of. Perhaps there would be a difference in the way the weir gathers water, or the way the water moves inside the box?
I appreciate any feedback.
Happy New Year,
AZ
