this time i included a pic to make it much easier on you :p

this is my design...
i have it go above the water line so i can have a siphon hole pointing down into the water...

the 2 heads are the ball line stuff so i can bend them to go anywhere....

let me know if the is good, or if there's a better way to do it!

i really appreciate all the help and information to date!....

Is your return line coming up from inside tank or behind tank?

Looks good otherwise.

im not 100% sure what it is your asking,you mean is this setup for your return sufficient?,im using the same loc-line return setup but an actual pic would be better for those of us trying to make a guess,is it kinda like this?if it is then i would have to say it is sufficient,at least on my 75 gallon,mine is plumbed through a 1 inch bulkhead with 3/4 inch inner diameter flow

no its not inside the overflow box... and its not plumbed beneath the water like your pic pulp...

its exactly like the image i drew up... the 90 degree comes out of the water so that the siphone hole is pointing down...
i just put most of the plumbing together today, including this return piece.. i will keep you up to date on how it goes, and i will take better pics and post them in the Members tanks forum, for my build thread... check it out
