Ok thank you when you say 7" you mean long
Wait why do you need 7" hole why so big
I mentioned 7" socks I earlier I believe....and it's just to be able to get my hand down inside them and turn them inside out easily. On my tank, if I used 4" socks, I would probably be changing them out every other day.
What about one of these?

You could screw it to the underside of the stand, and it would be out of the way.
Wouldn't a 7" sock fit in your 7" compartment?
The sock could sit out of the water some. It will clog past the point of the water level and just run down the sides of the sock nicely into the sump. Mine sock holders have the socks about 8" or so out of the water. See it to the far left?
So I'll drop it to the Mag12. and run PVC to increase my water flow. These barbed fittings dropped my GPH pretty bad when i went to flexible tubing. Plus the reason i jumped to the 24 was I have two Overflows rated at 1800 GPH each and with the 12 it was gurggling no matter what i did with my standpipes. I'll just keep fiddling with them or modify my drains to a 1" drain instead of 1.5" and that may slow the drain down enough.I wouldn't have the refugium that turbulent. I wouldn't use live sand either. Just get dry sand and rinse it and put it in there. If you put some rock rubble in there, whatever is in that will populate the sand in a short time. Put whatever sand you are using in the display in there.
I think the mag 24 may be a bit much for a 40 breeder sump.
My 24 pushes a lot of water for sure and i really would rather drop back to the mag 12 anyway since i liked it better. My overflows will just have to be tweaked a little i guess.Yeah I think it will be way to big my sump/ fuge is a DIY 55g and my DT is a 75g I put the sump in the basement and have about 9' of head and a few 45s with a 1" drain coming out of a hob crp 90 overflow from everything I read I figured I needed about a mag 24 turned out it was way to big I even had a valve that was more than half shut and there was still to much water someone on here suggested a mag 9.5 so I found one on Craigslist for 20 bucks and it is now a perfect match for my overflow
It looked to me like they were getting air in making a slurping sound. After the mag24 was put in they stayed nearly silent. I assumed it was because the extra water kept the pipes filled upInteresting. I would have thought it would be louder with the stronger pump, not the other way around.
Will that work for a durso stand pipe?you can also use some airline tubing to quiet the stand pipes. Slide a piece down each pipe and find the sweet spot, then tie/tape it off.
