Yes, this is great but it dosen't take into account the 1" hose barbs that have 3/4" ID's I increased the nozzle to 1/2" openings still have good movement in the tank! I need to measure the gph

but isn't that right out of the nozzle the further from the nozzle it gets the slower it get I think

That was with the 3/8" nozzle, I haven't measured the 3/4" or the 1/2" nozzles yet.

I just reversed engineered your calculation and came up with 4.5pfs is this correct

Chris, Thank you, I measured the flow out of 1 nozzle last night and I was getting 375gph. How many fps is that and how did you come to this conclusion what is the calculation

all slip adapters and T4 have an ID of 3/4"

Lets start with this pic http://reefcentral.com/forums/attachmen ... id=1557070

I have one also, just going along for the ride to see whats said!

My setup: I have a customsealife T4 pump at 0’ its rated at 1446gph at 6’ its rated at 1200gph I’m using 1” tubing, vertical length = 4.75’, horizontal length = 4’, 1 right angle, and the tubing bends over a 2’ length to make another right angle so I figure 1200gph is about what I’m getting...

hey Bingo stop that.

Quote"do you own research and decide which of the alternative is most appropriate instead of following advice blindly" I agree with this!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mike Siltdown I like it!

don't use southdown you'll be sorry....spend the extra $15 or $20 and get a bag of live sand from your lfs

my 2 cents take it or leave it. I wouldn't use southdown its to fine. I wouldn't go above 3" sand beds work fine at that level with the right sand and I wouldn't run a skimmer while cycling a new tank unless it had a ton of live rock dumped in at one time and even then I wouldn't

I bet you used southdown!
