[quote=Psyire;285216]Quick note: Not a good idea to restrict flow to a pump on the suction side. I'd put that valve on the discharge side instead.
Thanks for the advice. I couldn't find any other way to restrict the flow. The outlet side is all metric sized plumbing. It will only be short term. Once the system becomes low nutrient (usually 3-6 months) I will use the full flow rate (~300 ml/hr).
