Hello,

I'm still setitng up my 112g display and have a calculated head loss of 11.3 feet using a Velocity T3 return pump and two outlets. I plan to split the return line of 3/4" pvc to each of my corner overfows using flexible tubing after the tee split. According to the calculator, with 2 outlets using 3/4" I will get 616gph. I assume that's the total volume of return so each outlet then will have approximately 308gph, right? I can dial it back some at my manifold to my sump if needed, but I'm hoping I'm interpreting the amount correctly. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks, Bob
