Squire's 90 Gallon Build, Now With Salt Water

[The Grizz]

There's only 2 holes at the bottom of the OF, 1 - drain & 1 - return.

I would suggest to raise the the tee so that the top of the 90 degree elbow is about 1/2" below the bottom of the egg crate. Take the tee & cut off some of the top & bottom of it so there is only 1/2" of the slip in section left. Also cut down the top reducer so that it is flush in the top.

I see that now ...
Why couldn't he run over the top and use/not use the bulkhead on the overflow box sidewall?
Just a thought as I am a Herbie fan

Personally if it was my tank this is what I would do, K.I.S.S method. All my tanks are Durso & are completely silent & with out issues.

I'm a huge bean animal fan myself, but will try the KISS method here.Just to see if I can make it work. mostly I'm trying to avoid external plumbing , but if it comes down to it, I will break out the drill and go thru the back for the returns and do a Herbie

To give yourself a little more room you could cut a little off the bulkhead at the top of the OF. I would deffinately use spa flex for the return, that's all I am going to use from now on.

BTW: when are you coming to Edmonton?

Thanks, will take a bit off that bulkead. I think I will use only Spaflex for everything but close fittings, any runs will be flex.

In the city Sunday to Wednesday, hope I have big enough suitcase LOL
Unfortunately, with my tank acting up last week , I am having second thoughts about picking up any livestock or the nice clam that Ken has for me....

I will be in Edmonton on Sunday as well, have to pick up a couple tanks.

The problem with that is that it is awful tight in there and if i go any higher with the tee and 90, I won't have enough clearance for the return. As it is I have to use flex hose off the 90 on the return to the bulkhead.
I'll play with it and see what i can fit in there.. might have to break out the KY
