I am thinking about switching out my 150 acrylic for this guy

150 Gallon Long Starfire Center Overflow 60x24x24" 12mm

but I need a little more info about this company, also they are using 1" drain line and 1/2" return line, not sure if those line are big enough for my application.
Currently my drain is 1 1/2" and return is 1"
I have a remote sump in the basement 75 ft away.
You guys think a 1" drain is enough to drain all that water to the basement.

I have heard them discussed on RC lately. Here are a couple threads:

I had a 65 Gallon by them. Great tanks, price, and free shipping.


Note: The lights came from Lowes and not with the tank.

Here are some pics:

Thanks guys for your responds
I am feeling trigger happy for this new tank
It's just a tough decision the tank been up for a total of 13 years
But between the scratches on the acrylic and been over run with mushrooms I have leaning toward a tear down
Also SC aquariums said they can drill whatever size hole I need in the tank
It's just a 6 week wait.
