    Help w/ bulkhead sizes for a 120g

    hey, i'm going through the same thing. with my 135g. i have (2) 3/4" bulkheads in the overflow & (3) others throughout the bottom of the tank. I'm about to enlarge the holes to fit 1 1/2" bulkheads. 3/4" bulkheads in the overflow will only give you 360gph of filtrated water. Ideally a reef...
