Okay... so like the title says, what is the best way to re-configure my drain section?
I've gotten some 1/2 inch acrylic that I have cut to make a top. So far I have put an edge around it and a centerbrace. It will have two bulkheads for the drain pipes to go into. What I'm trying to decide is how best to configure the pipes as they leave the bulkheads.
Here is what I'm working with right now:

As you can see. I currently just have my pipes drop straight down into the drain section. I cut all kinds of holes so that air could escape.
Some thoughts:
A.) What about changing to 2 inch PVC right out of the bulkhead, connect to a 45 that directs towards the center of the section and then some 2 inch pipe with all kinds of holes in it (again to help air escape).
B.) Next, what about still going straight down, converting to 2 inch pipe and attaching a 90 elbow at the end to direct flow away and still more holes in the down pipes for any trapped air.
C.) Finally, what about still having the pipes come straight down, connect to 90 elbows and then a length of PVC that has a bunch of holes in it. Would look like a long L in the drain section. (not sure I've explained this one all that well).
Thoughts? Which would you choose and why? Any other options I didnt think of that would be better?
