    Newbie ? I am clearly missing something

    Thanks for replying Having the returns drilled into both sides of the back is what I thought would be best as well. Someone sent a picture of a tank with the returns and overflow that I was talking about, I thought the water exited the returns into the overflow box in that set-up-however the...
