You'll just have to build it to find out!

JL purchases those valves from Corix. Corix sold a 1.5" gate valve to me for $35...(but I was quite a regular customer there!)
Yeah I do really need to just give it a shot and see how it works for my tank. I have found a 2" Gate Valve from a member here now. New for $20, so a great deal. I feel much better sticking with the 2" drains and valving them back a bit more rather than going with smaller drains. So you were saying to have the primary drain as just a bulkhead right?
