Animal Bean setup

[bbleius]

Hello Everyone,
I need some help setting up my new 150 gallon reef tank. I have an overflow with three bulkheads, two 3/4 and one 1-1/2. I was planning on using the 1-1/2 for the Durso drain, one 3/4 for the emergency dry drain and the other 3/4 for my full siphon drain.
My question. Is the 3/4 large enough for the full siphon?
If not how would you set the animal bean drains up?

Thanks
Bob

It really depends on the size of the tank and flow through you are looking for. I would prefer nothing short of an 1” unless the tank was 100L or less. Here’s a great website that may help you though..
