I need advice for placement of my return lines from sump to aquarium. I want to drill and place bulkheads in the back panel because I want a very clean look, so I need to be sure of my placement.
The aquarium will be housing a colony of demasoni and probably yellow labs
The tank is a 60gal seaclear acrylic(48x18x15) w/30gal sump. I have a 400-800GPH return pump. I am thinking of going with 3/4" pipe/bulkhead/loc-line fittings. The loc-line fittings I'm thinking about are split w/flare ends (as pictured below). I am not worried about surface agitation because the overflow and sump should take care of that.
here is an image of where I think might be the best spots.
some thoughts i had about changing are splitting the returns into 4 locations with a single loc line nozzle at each location.
any other thoughts/suggestions?
