Default New 65 Gallon.

Well I just purchased a 65 Gallon drilled tank.

Now I can officaly make the sw plunge..

Specs below:

Tank Dimensions
36"L x 18"W x 23"H

Overflow Chamber Dimensions
10"L x 5"W x 21"H

Overflow Hole Dimensions
2 1/4" To Sump
1 1/2" Return (inside chamber)

Now I've been trying to do as much reading as possible I could to figure out what sort of plumbing system I should run. Any suggestions? I'm looking for a quiet system dont want any of that sump gurgling etc.

So should I go Herbie/Durso etc? I realise with the Herbie I'm going to need 2 drains so I was thinking of instead of running my return through the overflow chamber I could just run it from the back of the tank leaving me with two drains instead of one.

Any help/tips/pointers would be appreciated with the plumbing aspect as I'm fairly new.

*Wheres the best place to go for plumbing equipment etc.*


Thanks!!
