Ok, I think I've decided not to go with the "bow back" tank. I think I'm going to get rid of that tank and get a 40 breeder for my office at work.

How should I plumb it? I'm thinking about plumbing it for a 1" overflow with 2 3/4" returns. As long as I'm drilling 3 holes, I might as well drill 6, right? I'm also thinking about drilling a hole for a 1" bulkhead with 2 3/4" bulkheads for a closed loop and use a SCWD on that.

Good idea? Bad idea? Off the top of your collective heads, what hole sizes do you need for 3/4" and 1" bulkheads?

I'm working on the stand now when I get some time, and I can't imagine that I'll have it done in the near future. A little work here and there and maybe the stand will be done around Thanksgiving weekend.

Thanks!
Eric
