Hello
Im new to the propagation thing and will probably be asking a ton of questions over the next few months. I have all the major components for my first frag tank and now I just need a few plumbing parts. My main tank is 25 gallons 48X13X10 with a spillover box in the left corner that has a 1.5" drain hole and a 1" return hole on the bottom center 2" from the back. The return pump is a mag 9.5 that I plan to run through the center to a T and a want to know if I should use two penducters, use a 90 and one penducter, loc-line. Its going to be mostly softies so I dont need a ton of flow but I dont want to have to go back in later and mess with it. What would you do? I'll get some pictures up once its circulating water.
Thanks

A mag pump is a high flow, low head pump. It is not the best choice for a penductor that requires high pressure flow to work well

I also have a mag 18 but it seem like that would blow my frags around since the tank is only 10" deep. So do you think the I should just buy some loc-line nozzles?

I would skip the peductors and go with loc-lines on the mag 12. Try to have as many outlets as you can. That should be fine.
