So this weekend assuming i have my stand completed i will be moving everything from my 20g to a 29g and using the 20g as a sump.
I have an Eshopps pf-800 on the way (good for 800gph) and have purchased a Odyssea WP700 (700gph) for the return pump, or would a 500gph be better?
I am planning on using 3/4 (inside diameter) piping for the return plumbing.
The thing i am torn on is i want to have the return near the bottom of the tank with one outlet flowing across the back and one flowing towards the front of the tank, but i am not sure if i trust drilling a couple holes as a siphon break in case of a power loss or pump failure. Does anyone have any experience with this method?
The other option is just to have the return near the top of the tank, but it seems to me it would be more effective at the bottom.
I also plan on have a koralia hydor #1 and #2 in the tank for more flow in the tank.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
