The 90 degree bend into the SCWD is robbing you of flow, maybe as much as 30%, the SCWD accounts for 20%

You should consider putting in a nice OceanMotion 4way instead of the SQWDs. I've run both and the OM4way is the way to go!

The OM4way is the way I wanted to go but the price tag kept me back. Im going to try a few piping changes and see if the flow improves.
My need to get this tank in service has greatly increased do to the flood downstairs. I hate having to put rubber boots on to feed my fish.
