 |  overflow
i just went to another shop around town, he told me that i tank, 120g with one overflow is not enough, he said that ill need too since the overflow with one drain hole 1" each only can run around 600 gph, he suggest that i get one with 2 overflow or build a close loop system, how do u build one? is he right or wrong?
_________

If you see something better out there, let me know. most of the parts still being process. |

That is weird that a 120 came only with one. How big are the holes? If one is 1" and the other is 3/4" then you should get another mega flow. Is the tank set up? | |

The drain should be the 1" and the return 3/4". What I meant was if the tank is empty, try to get another mega flow installed. | |
