Ok so I have scrapped the Seio and Tunze ideas in favor of a Sequence Dart closed loop for my frag tank in the making.
If you don't remember, the tank measures 48"x24"x12" and I made it out of plywood. So drilling is not a problem.
The goal is to achieve no less than 3000 gph. The pump can be mounted level with the tank, so aside from a couple of elbows, there should be almost no head pressure. I was thinking on installing two bulkheads one at each end of the tank - 1.5" teed to the intake side of the pump. Now, for the returns, I was thinking of 4 3/4" all teed to a 1.5". One return at each end of the tank (next to the intakes) and two along the 48" front of the tank. I already have two intakes and 3 returns along the back of the tank that run to and from the sump.
Each intake and return would have a gate valve so I could easily adjust the flow.
What are your thoughts/suggestions/opinions?
