240g 2x 1" drain, 2x 3/4" return

PaulieReef · 08/09/2020, 07:36 PM

So I am about to buy a used tank, it currently has 2x 1" drains and 2x 3/4" returns, with a pump that pulls 980g per hour. Is this enough?

I was planning on using the 1" drains with the 3/4 returns as emergency and just plumbing over the back into the tank for the returns.

Suggestions?

Yes, enough.
