I was planning a syphon. With 2" pipe it should drain in about 15 seconds. I would expect to fill it from my sump with a dedicated pump delivering about 600GPH to fill the tank once per minute. I will be starting with about 1100GPH curculation from my sump on 100gal of tank volume and thought...
Thanks for the thoughts Matt. I will be getting the tank built shortly and was just trying to determine if I should lower the overflow "just in case" I add a Carlson surge in a year or so. That rate is based on 2" or maybe even 2.5" pipe which is what I thought would be useful as a surge...
