Yep, only a few closeup pics of my old 5g nano (no longer in service). Here's the 29 (also, not anymore).

My point was, bulkheads placed in the back rather than the bottom glass and sized correctly don't gurgle.

I don't understand why a Calfo-like overflow would even need a durso. It's not coast to coast, but it's bulkhead in the back design. Those are typically virtually silent sans the water splashing. ...

Use any screws whatsoever and paint the inside of your stand. People go to a lot of work on stands. Might as well protect the wood they're made from on both sides.

They have them labeled as 3/16", 1/4", and 3/8" but that's probably OD for some really small pipe. Never seen any that small before.

It depends how much flow you're looking to put through the pipe/hose. Since your pump has a 1" connector, you should go with 1" or larger (or an equivalent area if it's split, ie drop down to 3/4"...

Running the drain back up stairs to the main floor would put more than optimal restriction on the membrane. Wouldn't recommend it. I'd go with kgross's suggestion of tapping the drain pipe as low...

Don't clams naturally lose the ability to attach themselves later in life? IE, once they get large enough/weigh enough to not get blown around.
