Upgraded return


Recommended Posts

If PVC is Legos for tank nerds then Loc-line is technic. I swapped the Chinese Loc-line that came with my SCA tank today (both were 1/2") The amount of decrease in restriction was night and day and then some. My return pump (Varios 6) started running dry within about 45 seconds of me starting it up with the new plumbing. Also the emergency drain was pouring like a waterfall. Went from dual 1/2" flares to dual Y with a spray bar and random flow generator/eductor.

 

Varios was dialed to Max with the old returns. And had to be turned down to 1 or of 5 for the overflow/drain to keep up with the new return nozzles.
