My New 72"x20"x20" Tank Build

Well I hate how the 45's coming down into the water look. Especially the front ones! Would a "half" closed loop be a waste? Like if I have 6 outlets across the back and then one on either side? I think because the tank is so shallow it would still give more than enough flow in the tank. This tank will be bare bottom, so a few will be pointed at the bottom. I actually think this pump may be too big for this closed loop anyways. I may have to end up downgrading.

Since you're still playing around, have you tried to reduce to say 1" then build your manifold fr there with mutiple outlets?

Yeah maybe a good Idea. I have 1" PVC already, I would just need a few reducers and T's, 90's and 45's. Might worth a shot at this point.

Well I ended up finding really nice sized 1.5" fittings for the outlets. They are all ABS stuff. The ABS is way smaller looking even in the same diameters. I also like using the transition cement for PVC and ABS for some reason! I think it will work well. Should be done tonight and I will post pics.
