| Re: My slow 135g build
Nice cronicle. What keeps the water from draining is a break in siphon. The spray bar (or whatever return you have) should be at the top of the water, then a small (1/8" or less) hole is drilled just below the water line so that when the water falls below the hole then siphon is broken and the water stops flowing. Your water outlets can then be lower in the water if you want but won't drain the tank. Does that make sense?
The wall you built is beautiful! You obviously know what you are doing.
I would use all of the drilled holes in the bottom for drains.Then go over the back/top for the return. Drain to different areas, use 1 for the fuge, and 2 for sump. If they are different sizes use the small one for the fuge.
Keep up the good work!
