I guess you still have to drain the tank to do this.

yah i was going to taper it up to 1 1/2" but couldn't find the plumbing parts yet.. i figure thats my best solution... would it increase the flow considerably if I doubled the diameter after the hole?

anyone know where the best place in calgary is to get some plumbing like that? Tried the revy in weshills/macleod, and the home depot by chinook... thanks.

Playing with the RC drain/overflow calculator, the 3/4" is good for 330gph, 1"-600gph, 1.25"-900gph, 1.5"-1300gph.
