I'm looking to finally graduate to a sump-based reef after many many years of AIOs. I've settled on the Planet Aquarium 90G Mega Matrix (36.5" x 24.5" x 25") but have no clue how to deal with the plumbing as it doesn't come with any. Can you fine folks help me figure what plumbing parts I'll need to put this tank together? I believe it comes with 2 x 1" drains and 1 x 3/4" return so the Herbie overflow method would be ideal.
I'm seeing the external overflow version of this tank packaged with the 20" Tideline sump so I'd assume that would work with the internal overflow as well. However this sump comes with three 1" drains. Do I just leave 1 of the drains open...?
I understand the general concepts of what parts exist (this link has been helpful https://gmacreef.com/herbie-overflow-reef-tank-plumbing-method-basics/) but can't find concrete examples of exactly what I need.
I am pretty much clueless here. Is there a cookie cutter guide so I know which plumbing parts I need for this setup? Thanks!
