Got my 500g inwall tank finally place and ready for water but can’t figure out how to get it plumb. Actually don’t want to plumb it and mess up/regrets so have been waiting for someone that has plumbed a tank and is knowledgeable before moving forward.

Anyone on here willing to draw/design/sketch the “right” way to plumb this setup?

Not sure if there is more than one way but any input would be helpful.

With 5 custom holes outside of your overflows are you trying to do a closed loop system?
Had to look up closed loop to make sure my understanding is correct but I don’t think that’s what I’m doing.

The tank has 4 - 35mm holes so water can be returned back to the tank (1 on each end and 2 in the center). There are an additional 4 - 63mm holes for the 2 16” synergy external overflow boxes.

I’ll be running MP60s for flow

Very similar to mine and you will likely be doing a durso plumbing configuration
