Return water

[Nemo]

Just would like to know how others have the return water going into the tanks. I currently have 1 3/4" return entering the opposite side from the overflow.
I am thinking of have multiple lines across the back of the tank using loc lines.

Any input would be great

Thanks

I use a single 3/4" loc-line opposite my overflow. Nothing fancy. I try to keep the plumbing out of the tank now. The Tunze's look big enough. :mrgreen:

Also, the more outputs, the less flow each has. If your return is used for generating current, 1 outlet is best.

I am running to power heads for flow, I was thinking of putting on a Mak4 and putting multiple return lines to act like 2 more power heads. Do you still think 1 return line is best?

[Aquattro]

If you can run the MAK 4 at full throttle, 2 might be fine. Try to avoid head loss by using too many 90 degree fittings, etc.

spa flex is great for ridding of unnecessary "sharp" turns...it'll cost ya tho.
