Hey All

So I brought a shadow overflow, trigger 39 sump and have a 75G aquarium. The sump takes up just about every inch under the stand. When it comes to the return plumping from the overflow to the sump is it a problem to have 90 elbows without running to issues?

If plumbed correctly it shouldn't give you any issues. There are pre made sump that come with a 90° fitting on the inlet so I wouldn't imagine having 90s in your plumbing would cause any issues as long as you don't go crazy and have like 10 90 degree bends in your plumbing lol :)

No, no issues at all....the water will continue to move downhill regardless of how many bends there are....the bends won't slow it down from that distance to cause any issues.
