Re: New tank beginning

I found out I ws not good with fabrication so I took a different route. I am getting ready to drill my tank and need some ideas for the circulation in the tank. This is the idea I came up with but if you have another one please let me know. I am going to use two drains and two returns, will this be adequate for good circulation? I was going to put a current switch on the return also.

Re: New tank beginning

I drilled my tank today. Everything went well just waiting for one more bulkhead to get dropped off the I will be done with the inside plumbing for now. I think my DIY overflows that I made are going to work really well. I will post some pictures as soon as I load them into the computer.

Re: New tank beginning

that's looking pretty nice. did you build the tank yourself? or just the overflows?
