My pumps have a 1" male outlet, and my bulkheads for return are 3/4" I have 4 bulk heads 2 with nice locline and nozzle returns (scored all this as a package on ebay) how should I set it up for the best flow?
A. Use the 3/4 reducer that came with the pump and run 3/4" all the way?
B. Use 1" until it splits into 2 lines then reduce to 3/4" for each return?
C. Scrap the 3/4" bulkheads and do 1" the whole way
D. Something I havn't thought of that you will tell me that works better
I personally like option B but am concerned about any negatives.
The system will be 2 40b's each with a sump the display will have a 40b and the frag will have a 20h the 40b sump will house both a 596 and the 1300, the 20h will house just a 596, when running together both 596's will be off, the 20H will have an overflow that runs into the 40b sump the 1300 will return to both tanks. When they are separate the 1300 will be turned off both 596's will run and the overflow from the 20 to the 40 will be shut off.
