ok UnderWorldAquatics I don't want to step on any toes but placed the same topic on Reef Central and am getting the complete opposite opinion on this stuff.

"You know I have noticed a lot of flow restriction with this stuff. Not sure why but for some reason it just restricts the flow.. Anyone else notice this?"
Quinster
"I thought it would give less restrictions due to the fact you could greatly reduce the need for elbows over the use of rigid pipe"
reeftechie
"I thought the same thing. but i dont think its true. for some reason it was not as strong when I used PVC."

"I buy 1.5" pool suction hose from poolsupply shop in 40ft sections for about 35bucks they also have replacement cuffs for about 2.50ea. works great since sump and fuge are in a different room but it does restrict flow quite a bit because of the corrugated hose. makes it easy to move things if need to."
Wierd...don't know if I should go with it or not....can get it pretty cheap so it wouldn't hurt that bad if I don't like it...
