Really, really, really dumb question

I need some plumbing basics, first off for a 55 to 75g tank, what kind of overflow would you reccomend? How big, and now for the dumb question, where does the water re-enter the tank? thanks

Hi Mikeman!

Are you talking about a drilled tank using a corner overflow? If so, the size that has been recommended to me is 6x9 which will allow plenty of room for a stockman standpipe.

The return come back up through behind the corner overflow. Or if you desired, the plumbing could just "reach" over the back of the tank.

HTH,
Scott Z.
