I have a 150 drilled. I am looking to trade for a 70's Bowfront or a 90.

What are the dimensions? Is it used or new? I currently have 90 that's in use and might be interested.

It is a used 6 foot 90. I have tank only no stand. It is drilled on the bottom for the returns. mu plan was to have the returns flow up through the rockwork. That way the return pipes would be hidden. I have a pic. but since I am at work I can not post it.

How would you prevent a backsiphon in case of power failure and were you planning on hang-on overflow(s)?

Yes I was planing on hangons. Also toying with having the tank drilled again. I bought the tank drilled that way. I did not have it drilled. They could easily be converted to reg internal standpipes. If I remember corretly they are also 1' .

there are alot of ways to stop a backsiphon Stand pipes in the tank for one.... Dont know if i like the pipes in the tank...


Another way is run the pipe up to the water level you want the back down again... SO what you would have is the pipes coming out of the back of the tank going up to your water level and then back down...



Very easy and cheep to do and you dont end up with 2 pipes in your tank...
