I don't know much about Ampmaster pumps. Are they designed to handle much back pressure?</strong><hr></blockquote>

Sure they can handle the backpressure....just make sure you throttle back on the output side NOT the input side.

I used 2 AM's cuz I didnt want to have a buttload of current going through my Refugium. But at the same time I wanted more than enough current on hand if needed. I have since put a 1/2hp Chiller inline on my closed loop....And have also added 4 Maxijets1200 on a wavestrip. I dont really think I needed the 4phs on the wavestrip but it sure is helping with new tank algae blooms.

I found those big PVC unions to be big and ugly so now i use the ones in these photos.They are machined for Orings so they seal against whatever you screw into them.They allow for easy DIY projects and come in a small varity of sizes and configurations examples...Elbows,TEEs,straight,4 way ect.. 3/4" and 1" sizes only.You can email me if you would like some or go here for more pictures.
