seems like you're moving along quickly, which is good.

Are you looking at drilling it yourself or getting someone else to do it? I'd imagine if you talk to bow valley or the like you can just say what size bulkheads you want and they'll drill to fit. For my smaller tanks I usually go with 1.5" drain and a 1" return line...you could go herbie system too now that I think of it...

[karazy]

yeah, im am going with the herbie. i guess if im getting it drilled by experienced...drillers they should know

[Rbacchiega]

for sure. I'd still go with 1.5" drains and 1" returns. Since your thinking of LPS/sofites, you'd only really NEED two returns...cross them with lock-line or the like in the tank.

[karazy]

yeah, im planning on doing exactly what you said. for the return it will be 1 hole drilled and then a Y of loc-line into more loc-line

[Rbacchiega]

if you're going to be drilling you might as well drill for 2 returns...the less lockline I see in a tank the better...then you can direct each return to a specific area in the tank
