Hi All!
First I’d like to say thanks to everyone that posts here, I’m a newbie and I have learned a TON just by reading here and a few other sites. It’s great to be able to learn from others mistakes.
I’m starting a new 95 Gal tank and I want to drill it out first. I have done a tone of research and I'm comfortable with the process, however I still have a couple questions that I need clarification.
I’m planning on putting a 20gal sump underneath and want to prepare for a possible close loop system in the future.
I plan on putting two holes in each corner at the top in the back to feed the sump.
1) What is the best location to put the return? Center top?
2) For a close loop system, I thought I’d have one out and 2 or 3 returns, but where is the best place to locate these? Also, (I know this is a dumb one), but how do you prevent critters from being sucked up in the close loop system?
I tried to find the answers fist, however I was unable to find anything really specific. If an existing posting already exists, just point me in the right direction.
Thanks much
