I’m working on finishing the plumbing on my tank and was hoping for some advice on the return line outlets. I dual have 1 inch return lines each on a separate pump. I want to have minimal plumbing in the tank and was planning on just using the bulkheads without any additional nozzles/loc line. As I look at it I’m now a little concerned that with the level of my lower overflow drains and I’ll get surface splashing if don’t put anything on the bulkhead ends.
I’m also a little worried about my sump overflowing if I add enough water to go up to the second line overflow drains (see pic). The tank is ~200 gallon display, plus a 40 breeder (external refugium/additional rock), UV, and sump 36 gallon in the garage. I’ve tried to calculate all the volume in the lines and it should be good but is still giving me a little anxiety.
I’m not worried about flow in the tank, I have 4 mp40s. I just need the return lines to get the water back to the tank and look nice. I’ve seen some threaded loc-line but not that would fit my 1 inch slip bulkheads.
