    The center overflow of my tank is 20 1/4 inches tall. Since I will be having two 2 inch drains, I was wondering what should the lengths of the pipes be? Should they both be the same or one longer than the other? Advice is greatly appreciated.

    Yes or one will do most if not all of the work.

    I don't understand. Are you saying they both should be the same size or one shorter than the other?

    Same length for certain, and I would go with same diameter also.
