Hey first post ever,will try not to screw it up.I am setting up my new 135 gallon acrylic,my question involves the return lines from sump tank.I think my return pump is a 400-600 gph range with a 1" intake and a 3/4" return.I want as much return pressure or forceful current as possible but I have to "T" the return each end going to spraybar at seperate ends of tank.Would I be better off using 1/2" pvc to create more pressure or should I use 3/4" pvc like the pump is designed for,and would this create less flow and or pressure because it is "T"d??Hope this makes sense.
