I got this tank from a guy (who got it from a guy) and it came with all kinds of tubes and PVC pipes that I am trying to reassemble into a working setup. I believe the tank previously was a saltwater, but I am looking to use as a freshwater.
Its a 125 gallon tank and a 60 gallon used a sump. Its drilled, 4 holes bottom corner.
The larger holes are cut to for 2.5" inch PVC and the other 2 fit 1.25" tubing.
I understand how an overflow system works (from reading online) but I dont get why there are 4 drill holes, as opposed to 2.
I have pictures of how I received the parts and how I pieced them together - I think im almost there but not sure what Im missing or if I did it right.
What I don't get is, one of the PVC tubes is actually higher than the tank and has a hook on it (there is also a drill hole on the top of the hooked piece). I have no idea what this piece is for.
I assume the shorter piece PVC is the actual drain.
The two smaller holes, I assumer are both returns, the setup came with one sump pump - so I either need to split the return between those 2 smaller holes or I need to get an additional sump.
Also, I am not sure why there is a T attachment on the one clear tubes - is it possible I attach that to the sump output and then use that tube to feed the two returns?
