Plumbing question

I've found this thread insightful and helped me understand concepts I was completely ignorant of. Mostly the concept of how water height effects head loss, and how water volume does not. My thought process before was more water volume = more weight = more headloss. But it's only water height that does...

Thanks guys

oh....and that 27.2" of water colum equals 1 psi.....that is based on fresh water with a specific gravity of 1.....not the approx. 1.25 of our aquariums
