Little miscommunication on my tank order. Holes for external overflow will fit a 1.25" bulkhead rather than 1.5" bulkhead. I've already plumbed the system, to the basement, with (3) 1.5" drains.

Curious if anyone sees an issue with using a 1.25" to 1.5" pvc adapter just below the bulkheads so I don't have the replumb the entire drain system. This transition would occur above the gate valve used for fine tuning the system.

Thoughts?

What size is the tank and how many gph are you going to be looking to run? Depended on that I don't see any issue with your plan :)

Thanks!

Tank is ~200G, I know 1.5" is overkill but it's already plumbed at this point. Just need to figure out if I'll face any issues transitioning from 1.25" bulkheads to 1.5" lines using something like this (above the bean gate valve):
