Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of upgrading to a 40 breeder and had a question about my return hole. Did I drill it too low? The hole is about 3 inches form the rim of the tank and is 3/4".

Was going to go that route just wanted to double check, thanks. First time drilling a tank and plumbing so never hurts to ask

I have done both drilling loc-line and simply putting outlet just under water surface. I like putting Loc-line output just below the water surface so it agitates the surface and breaks the siphon quickly. Either way works - it depends on what you prefer. If you drill the Loc-line, be sure to keep the hole from getting plugged with coralline or other gunk.
