Im having a delema with picking out a return pump for my 20L
im running half inch bulkheads on the overflow and the 2 returns.
im told by others on another forum not to go over 100 GPH on those bulkheads, they wont be able to handle it?????
this doesnt make any sense.. seeing as i run over 1250gph through 2-3/4 inch bulkheads on my 100g prop.
my question being...
what is the maximum GPH i can go with for my loop??
im getting really frusterated with the naive comments that i need 1000GPH plus on my 20L!? thats ridiculous. Seeing as ill be running 2 koralia nano's or 2 koralia 1's for added flow... my 2 cents on this matter is..
its not about massssivvee overkill flow, its about strategicly directing the flow were it is needed.
please no negative comments, im looking for suggestions on a pump, not suggestions on re-doing my whole setup everything has already been set in stone except the return pump, i need to know what i can work with!?
thanks guys!! i know you'll give me a straight answer.
