I would get bigger holes, or have them in the base in the back corners, and set up a weir, flows much much more than holes at the top/back, also the plumbing is all underneath and not behind, so you can still access it with out emptying, and moving the tank.<
><
>remember a 32-35mm hole is for a 25mm internal diameter bulkhead= stuff all flow, maybe 1000lph from 2 if you are lucky, i know i have this problem.<

i have 2x35mm holes in the side of my 6x2x2 with 25mm piping and 3000l/h running through it no problem.<
><
>i started with 1 hole and the water level would go up and down, it would build up and go above the hole completely then it would start a syphon effect and go back down far enuf to
eak the syphon. so still no problem just a tidal tank that changed tides every 20 seconds lol.<
>but the second hole fixed it right up<
