My bulkhead is the wrong size and I might not enlarge it... I was wondering if a 3/4 drain is enough ? I also need to mention that if I go this route, the 3/4 drain expands to 1" right after the bulkhead since he rest of the plumbing is 1"..

Herbie! I havent bought a return pump yet.. Looking for 3-4 turn over so I wont be doing 2000gph hahaWhat kind/style of drain and how large of a return pump? If you’re planning on running something nutty like 2000gph through the sump than no.
Some flow chart rate 3/4 inch to 660gph wich is a 22x turn over rate if I max it out, so I guess I'm okay ?I think 3/4" will be OK for a 30 gal tank
He printed a new one. It needs reamed too.You do realize your original thread doesn't just go away?
The bigger issues is if the 3d printed overflow is on the wet or dry side? Anything 3d printed on the 'dry' side for a overflow is asking for problems...He printed a new one. It needs reamed too.

Also he never said anything about reprinting anything...
So many questions, lol.
This. I await the soon to be emergency involving a leak on the 'dry side' once the '3d printed' overflow sees water.I would like to get more information on this 3d print. It sounds like the wrong approach for this particular application.
Not to throw up the red flag, but you should be warned and understand the issues that may arise.
Cool send me an update please!I just rigged a 34 gallon with 3/4 and ill be testing it tomarrow. I have a dc pump so my thought was just turn the pump down as much as needed.
I think 660 gph would be pushing it for a drain, but a 3/4" Herbie should easily do 150-200 gph which is plenty for a 30 gal.Some flow chart rate 3/4 inch to 660gph wich is a 22x turn over rate if I max it out, so I guess I'm okay ?
Running fine now, small current eflux dc pump running at like 75ish percent. It's a redsea 170 with 3/4 inch pipe to their factory gate valve as the maine drain. Working just fine.Cool send me an update please!
