1" piping on the standpipes or larger? Reason I ask is, I tried 1" on my 65g (same external-Durso standpipe configuration as you've got there) and it was not able to keep up to a mag3 (well OK it kept up, but only barely) so I stepped it up to 1.5". It seemed as if the extra lateral distance was the problem. Mind you I see you have 2 so that probably explains why it works for you.. What kind of flowrate you got going through the frag tank (what pump feeds it)?
Sorry Tony, I didn't get a notification of your reply. I am using 1" and I'm not sure what the exact flow is. I just "T"ed off from my sequence hammerhead return
