I dont want to have my returns run up the back and over the top since it will be eurobraced. If I go durso I only need 4 holes drilled. I'd appreciate some feedback on this please and thank you.

with a far drop like that i would go for the herbie , it allows you to lock all air out of the lines , so would be quieter and less bubbles and agitation from air at the drain exit.

i happen to know where your getting your tank built and can help with design if you like , im sure the other fella wouldnt mind at all if i made you a drawing as im sure he will want one anyways

cheers buddy cant wait to see the new build its nice to have a fresh start after so many years
