final review before D day please...

Hey All,

I too am about to drop off my template to the LFS for drilling of a new tank...."D" day so to say.

Needless to say, it needs to be right!

I had a general DIY thread asking for review and got some good feedback and made changes.

Thought I'd ask for final review in this thread since most folks here are real close and many experienced with the process.

Uncle - I didn't end up with your exact measurement, but I'm close at 2 3/4" from top edge of tank.

Unless I hear otherwise, I'm keeping the siphon hole a 1/4" lower than the other two. Someone mentioned it wasn't necessary but I see it as it couldn't hurt when re-starting. I've got a few inches of hortizontal to travle before the first Tee.

Anyway, template attached. Flow is expaected at 700-900 and I'll be at 1" pipes and the sump on the other side of the back wall immediately below the bottom edge of the display (on its own stand).
