Guys,

Looking for feedback on the planning of the next tank. I have decided to go with an OM 4-way CL for flow and would like you to critique the plan. Most of this has come from the OM forum and Paul's recommendations. The CL will be powered by a Sequence DART and will be utilizing drum #3 with flow alternating between the returns on the back and floor. I am sold on the design, just curious on placement.

For the overflow I plan on using the 3 holes in the overflow as drains and have the returns come up and over the tank in each of the 4 corners to get a circular flow pattern in addition to the barrel-roll effect from the OM. This will be powered by a snapper pump. Below is a quick sketch of the CL placement.

Thanks,

Craig

it looks great i think i believe that you will be very happy with it.

what are you going to use as a strainer on your intake for the CL?
