I was just wondering if anyone had any formula's or advice to share about using one drive pump for two tanks would I assume that if using a 800 gph pump each tank with unrestricted flow would be somewhere under 400gph, approx 4ft of plumping each way, should I split the line into two as close to the pump as possible or use a t joint to decrease the amount of plumbing?
I'm going to have a 40b and a 30b plumbed together they will almost be side by side but the plumbing or both will be on the left side of the tank, I plan on using glass hole over flows using a 750 on the 40, but want to use something a little less on the 30b. I can use ball valves to reduce the flow. The 30 will be primarily a frag tank and plan on having running as part of the system but will also have a separate sump for it and will be able to turn off the shared plumbing to use it as quarenteen as needed this will cause me to turn back the drive pump for just the 40b Looing for toughts and Ideas my stand design is done and I really like it so I've moved onto plumbing.
