Here is one of my problems...the house builder made some cosmetic changes to my stand design and one of them included a double wall on the overflow side of my tank covering most of that side up. In doing that, I asked him to cut four 3 1/2" holes out of the wood so that my pumps could go in before the tank went in. He did this but when the tank was installed, I noticed that the bottom two holes were very close to the tank bottom.
The true issue didn't rear its head until I put those pumps in while aquascaping yesterday. They are only 1/2" from the bottom. I am probably going to have to place a rock below them in order to avoid sucking up sand.
