Marine land dd 300 gallons drain question
Not sure what I wanna/should do so I need some advice! I have a orca pro 1 skimmer going on this tank and a 100 gallon sump. Okay so the tank has 4 1" holes 2 for drains and 2 for returns. I have a hammerhead reef flo and this tank is gonna be pure sps. Now should I just run 4 one inch drains and run the return up the middle or just stick to the 2 drains 2 returns?

IMO Marineland really screwed up with this tank... Should have at least two 1.5" drains and the extra two as 'emergency drains' (1", but 1.5" would be better)... They used to take orders for custom 300DD tanks with bigger drains, but no longer...unfortunately they can not be re-drilled.
You should definitely run all 4 holes as drains.
