    Okay, now that I have time to re-edit this giberish...

    I am going to setup a 75 - 90 gallon tank (I want a 15" deep but think I am gonna be stuck with a 18" deep unit). Going with the 90, what size hole/holes/bulkhead/s do I need to put into the tank drain the skimmed water to the sump, that will handle the well advised 5x flow volume? I think I read somewhere 1" will flow 500gph, is this correct? So, 2 1" pipes would be good with a extra over flow backup pipe? I think I am going to setup a coast to coast skimmer type system, though it may not quite make it caost to coast, lol.

    Need to get the answer so I can buy the bits, quiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!! Ha ha, just kidding, sort of.

    Thanks.
