Question about plumbing??

[tony_3a]

Hey guys i got a question! I recently picked up a used tank that was custom made(I believe it was out of aquatic addictions here in abbotsford). Anyways the question I have is, and maybe this is normal, but i have never seen it, the tank has 2 small corner overflows each drilled only once with 1 inch standpipes in it, and nothing else. Just 2 open pipes, I dont even think there is room to get a durso in there. Im just curious just because with 2 open pipes there I am thinking there will be a shitload of noise/gurgling.

I was thinking i could do like a dual herbie but the problem with that is I would have no emergency drain so that would be a problem if either of them got plugged.

Im just out if ideas.

Any help is appreciated.

You can use either stockman standpipes or HGB style. Both should fit.

Or you can still do a herbie but you'll have to use one overflow as the primary and the other as a back up but it can still work.

Ditto on the stockman's unless you want to go herbie and try some thing creative like this:


But really, stockmans will do you fine.

Ok I would prefer to do a herbie with one overflow being emergency and one being drain, now only problem is what is the Max flow a 1 inch herbie drain can handle? It's a 115 gallon tank I was going to use a panworld 1200gph pump. Would the 1 inch handle that?

Thanks guys.
Btw this will be a fish only tank.
