Need Help for deciding overflow/return holes.
I am planning to drill 2 holes for my 44Gal Hex stretch Oceanic. How big the overflow hole should drilled and how big for return.

only 2 and not 3?
If only 2, how about 1.5" for the drain and 3/4" for the return |

For a 44g, I would do 2 x 1" and 1 x 3/4" return. Anything over 75g than I would definitely do 1.5" drains and 1" return.
