I would like some plumbing ideas for an over the top type design. here is a picture of my tank and I will say that it has 1 1/2 inch hole drilled in the over flow. The maker is glasscages.com and he has told me that the overflow can handle around 1500gph. It will be going behind a wall if this helps with the design. The tank size is 30x30x30 cube around 120 gallons. My plans is to draw water from the sump thru the chiller and up into the on squirt. I cannot drill the tank it is tempard glass on the back. please pick one
1.om squirt
2.seaswirl
3.scwd
4.None of the above.

Here is how I did my OM Squirt:
I have a wood canopy. The only thing that can be seen is the 4 Locline nozzles in the tank

4 nozzles would be pretty cramped in that setup if they were all in the back. You could have 2 exit the back and run two along the top edge and exit the sides pointing in if you get my drift. That would provide some good flow.

BTW, The OM Squirt is a really nice product. Highly recommended.

Take a look at the OM Waterpix forum (http://www.oceansmotions.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=10&sid=c29a7759db27555071ed57fa3cd1261c) for lots of ideas on plumbing setups.

OM squirt. And then you can have 2 in the back corners and 2 in the front corners.

That's a nice setup. Where's the pump?

since its behind wall, maybe you could drill the sides of the tank too.
