I currently have a Visio 80ish gallon RR tank. It has 2 holes drilled in the overflow. One is 1.5 in. and the other is 3/4 in. I used the 1.5 for the drain and the 3/4 for the return. The 1.5 was Tee'd off to two 1 in. into my sump. I am debating going to the herbie system and drilling the back of my tank on both sides with 1/2 in lines. Anyone have the same type setup? Anyone do this before? Any ideas on how to go about it? I plan on going through glass-holes for the drill bit and plumbing parts. Has anyone used them?

I plumbed many tank like how you describe. Another optioned would be to just do a up and over on the return. Save yourself the hassle and headache of drilling the return.

What would you recommend for holding the return lines in place? Would you just pvc plumb it or would you use something specific?
