I have a 150 that has 4 1" holes drilled through the bottom. Currently I have two pumps operating the closed loop but I want more flow with out power heads. I am thinking about a Dart pump with an OM 4 way. The problem is water supply to the Dart. I would have to use all 4 holes in the bottom of the tank to supply the Dart and the return would route to all four corners on top of the tank. Is the best best solution? I am recirculating a 1000 gph now and should be able to get 2500-3000 gph from the Dart. The tank is a 150g 48x30x25.
Thanks

what size holes are they to need to use al of them for the dart? I am assuming the tank is set up and drilling is out of the question. You can supply the dart via over the back of the tank style plumbing. This looks about like a durso but the cap on top is to prime the pump.

3 1" holes is equivalent to one 1 1/2". The dart has a 1 1/2 intake. Yes the tank is up and running so I do not want to redrill.
