Hello,
I'm new here and planning my first aquarium. I'm having this custom built here in Calgary. I'm looking for last-minute opinions on this plan before I start the build...tomorrow likely.

Pretty basic here. I want to avoid powerheads:
- 18" wide overflow spanning entire width
- 2 x 1.5" drains (Made an educated guess as to their size)
- Return through another 1.5" hole
- Return splits to 4 loc-lines. Intend to aim the 2 near the overflow towards the opposite end/ middle of the tank. Other two to maybe aim a bit downwards, against glass maybe.
My questions:
Will my holes be large enough?
I'm going to be buying a Quiet One 3000 or 4000. 780 / 1017 gph respectively. Which is my best bet, considering head loss, and restriction of loc-line?
I intend to keep softies and maybe some lps initially. perhaps try sps at a later date.
Thanks for any and all feedback!
Brett
