The thing is that im trying to plumb for circulation without the use of powerheads. I like fish,verts, and corals ( i like everything really) so i figured a 75 gall (48x18x21 i think is correct) would be a nice size to start with. Also i wasnt planning on buying a 75 with built in overflows already(reef ready right). I was thinking about buying a reg AGA 75 gallon and drill two holes for bulkheads, an elbow, and a simple bulkhead strainer for overflow. I dont like the thought of having any plumbing on the sides of the tank. I think im understanding that the less amount of 90's the better, so it doesnt restrict flow. So i should use 45's. Anything i can put together and easily take apart would be great (due to the fact that i may have to move it later on down the road) but if i have to glue everything together then i dont mind. The part i dont understand is how much it will drain in gph and how fast in gph i need to pump it back in??
If someone can help me understand this plumbing situation, and help me create a schematic to plumb it, i would greatly appreciate. After all i am a noob...LOL
