Hi! I have a new project. I'll hang my TV on the wall, and put a 75g tank under it. The tank is pierced with a corner flow, and will lay on a 8 inches tall stand. I plan to install the sump in my basement. The height for the return would be 9 feet high, but the pipes will have to run horizontally for 20 feet, because I cannot put the sump directly under the display tank. There would be 6 x 90 degres elbows. No problem for the return as I will buy the right pump, but my question is with the flow that comes from the display tank to the sump, which is powered by gravity. I think water alway find its way, but would that long horizontal run would be an issue? Is it a good idea to use bigger pipes on the horizontal ones? (1 inches for vertical, 1 1/2 for horizontal). Would it be a good idea to install dursos on strategic places through the run to add syphon?
