I just double checked and it looks like I have 3/4" return lines. Does that change the flowrate?
Google "DCS9000 flow chart" and double check yourself.

So put a 2" long piece of 3/4" pipe coming out of the 3/4" bulkhead. Attach a 3/4" by 1" reducer bushing, slide the reducer bushing into a 1" elbow and run that down to your 1.5" tee.

Or you could use two pumps, one for each side, and throttle them back.

Humpty needs to run a single 9000 at 90-100% for his tank size.
