Hello - I am setting up a 150 Gal Reef tank and have a question about plumbing. The tank will have a 40 gal breeder sump which I will be running a reefugium. I have 1 overflow which is drilled for two 1" openings (1 for drain and 1 return) There are so many ways to go about it which I am debating. You have the flex pipe with the barb fittings then you have pvc schedule 40 or 80. I want to do it right the first time and I want it to last. So please throw me your thoughts on what you think please. My initial thought is to go with schedule 40, a couple of unions, a cepex ball valve for the drain and return and a Georg Fischer Wye Check Valve on the return side to help eliminate back flow in case of a power outage. So what is your thoughts?
