I wanted to go with a bigger pipe all the way to the sump, but there were basically two impediments: one, the bulkhead has a built-in 90 degree so I'd have to cut it to get it out and replace it. Two, and I guess more important, the bottom glass of the tank is tempered so I can't drill a hole for a larger bulkhead. So 1" I am stuck with.

At the rate the ritteri is growing, I'll need a bigger tank soon enough, so there's no sense in putting more work into this one in the meantime.
