New guy with Overflow piping kit question

[Marine Marv]

Hello Everyone,

Introducing myself as a new member to Manhattan Reefs. I am excited to join this community as I've been a guest before and have witnessed the tremendous amount of knowledge, stories and product information it has to offer. I have kept a 55 gallon FOWLR system for about 2 and a half years now (check out my profile for stock listing, pics coming soon sorry for the delay) and am currently upgrading to an AGA 72 gallon bowfront reef ready system, as I am arranging for a more roomy and comfy place for my finned friends. Before this, I kept freshwater tanks for many years even in my childhood. Kept everything from guppies and goldfish to tankbusters and Discus with freshwater Stingrays. The marine tank was my latest challenge and I am glad to have "dived in." Look forward to great conversations with you all.
Now, I have my first question right here and now for you guys out there (LOL.. why waste time?) and that is, would anyone know the Megaflow piping kit dimensions for a 72 gallon bowfront by Aqueon/All-glass? I have purchased the drilled tank w/ overflow and ordered the piping kit. I wish to know this so I can buy correct sized fittings to plumb to my sump filter. Thanks.

Hey Marv welcome to MR. Great community with lots to offer.

The AGA 72g BF tank has 1" overflow and 3/4" return.

Hope this helps,
Russ

Thanks a lot, that will indeed help as I can save time getting the plumbing parts while I wait for the piping kit to come in.

where did you get the kit from, if it's the stock kit for aga, their bulkheads have hose barb connections on them.

Yes... and the overflow barb takes 1 1/4" ID tubing

I ordered the kit from a LFS, Pet Goods in Scarsdale, NY. Thanks for that heads up on the hose barbs. I guess I'll be patient and wait for it to come in so I don't get the wrong parts/fittings. Btw, My Pics are now up so check out my gallery. More pics on the way and I'll be transferring everything in the 55 gallon to my 72 bow reef ready soon.
