Which glass holes?

so, anyone know how much water can drain from a 1" pipe?

'roundabout 450 with a few elbows and some slime inside. A brand new one cannot drain a Mag 7 IME - I had to put a ball valve on it. You can get more, but don't count on it - 600 is about right when new and if it was a straight fall. Don't under estimate how sponges and other nasty junk can slow down a pipe - the stuff that grows inside of your skimmer will grow in the pipes.

If you go with a single overflow, over drill that think to take a 1.5" drain. I have a bit if you want to borrow it.

Maybe the 1500 but that may not cut it. I've got an 1800 Gph pump. Even with head loss etc. I may need more. Not sure what to do.

May just do a bean animal.

Are you going to build a manifold for any reactors

Yea, I am but not going to use it initially. I may use it for some extra flow for a frag section in the sump as well as a desperate mangrove tank.

So, how much flow are those two or three things going to take plus head loss, and how much h2o can I shove through a 1" pipe. A full siphon can do a bit more than a Durso. Just not sure if it'll cut it.

Are you saying you think you should get a bigger pipe?

hahaha, no complaints so far.

:rofl:
So why are you stuck with just a 1" pipe? What's stopping you from going for a 1.5" pipe?

Well if you do open a valve I think your flow would dramatically be affected. That is just gut feeling. I may try and plump in my pellet reactor today I can let you know if I see I large loss.

I don't think I can re-drill the bottom. That's why I'm thinking of doing the coast to coast bean animal. I can stick in whatever pipe I want then. This is all because you like the peninsula! YOUR FAULT

Ummmm...

That's what she said.

Ok. Not doing the peninsula. Moved around the house with the wife yesterday. Put the tank in living room, now you can see it when you come in the front door. Also, I can do a basement sump if I want!

Going to weld a light rack today. Hopefully move tank in this afternoon.
