stylaster Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 For the overflow one, i would do a wier. As for the return, do something with a Y return so you can point flow in more then one direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byrd Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'ld start by drilling the bottom of the tank with 2 holes, one for the return and one for the down pipe, and then build yourself a hidden.......................... Oh you already drilled-never mind-LOL Just had to do- Roy has good advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
