Plumbing Size Help!!!

Hi guys!!! I read one to many articles online and I am very confused and need your help. So, I drilled the back of my tank and installed a 1" bulkhead. My question is will 1" pvc be okay to use for the rest of the plumbing or will I need to use 1.25" in order to have a problem free tank?

How much flow do you have? Without that information we cannot answer the question. A 1" PVC pipe will handle 600 GPH for a drain line, 2,200 GPH on the pressure side.

It really depends on the plumbing style you run. If you run a single durso there will be some noise. If you run a herbie you'll be golden. Try a bit more patience and better explanation for improved results.
