Shorter deadline, six months is too long for a nano IMO, and less constraints would be good. Perhaps limit total system volume and nothing else ;)

If someone were to pipe up with attitude stating there's no way a mag1200 could produce exist heat I'm sure you might say something. Nothing wrong with defending that opinion.

Hilarious how contradicting one can be, this is thread about flow not heat. Remember you're suppose to stay on topic not point out other potential problems.

Sorry couldn't resist :lol:

I'd probably glue it with a union for good measure, chances are you'll be OK without glue but what's the down side to gluing it?

You'll be fine it's a Mag 1200 not a 1/3hp pump. The closest thing to that pump that I have installed would probably be the Sequence Reeflo Barracuda (only has 1/4HP motor). I've installed this pump...

Also a little more info for you, a 1/3 HP pump doesn't mean it uses 250W, actually a 1/6 HP centrifugal style pump will use about 275W on average.

I would hope that pump does more than 1100gph at 1/3HP otherwise I cannot even grasp the reasoning for it. Even a mag1200 does much better than that and they are pretty inefficient.
