    I just ordered my seamless 110 glass bow front today. They are going to be packing it up here shortly today for shipping and before they do i am now wondering if the 1in drain bulkhead and 3/4 return is enough or should i have them make it bigger. thank you:)
    (Just found out it is 1.5 drain and 3/4 return.)

    agreed... you can always downsize with fittings, so go as large as you can

    ideally return would be 1", but 3/4 will be fine

    No starfire but this is a link to the exact tank
    OV110bF139

    what do you think? was kind of scared since sight unseen except for the picture.The dimentions are perfect for what i want. 48x22x25. I could not get one made with those specs without paying and arm.
