Hello,
I have a 180 gallon tank that I bought from another great member on here and I need help understanding the plumbing and what is the best way to do it. Right now it has overflows coming off the back with 1 1/2 " pvc coming out. It goes about 8 or so inches from the wall. I want to know if I can take out some couplers and keep it closer to the tank or if this will cause a problem. Also, I am trying to figure out what check valves, ball joints, and holes I will need to keep noise down and reduce the chances of a flood. Thanks so much. I will be just going to a non drilled sump and back.
