since money is really tight for me right now,it's gonna be a while before I can buy the OM 4way that I want.....hopefully this will be a temporary thing but,I'm gonna have to do a close loop return manifold,so I can use my hammerhead pump....with help from Matt on Idea's......here is kinda what I have in mind.....

feel free to criticize(make fun of) my artistic skilz

in the first drawing,the water would enter from the side,and flow in a straight line across the rear of the manifold....less restriction on the pump,than adding a Tee to the center of the manifold

in the second,basically the same as the 1st but easier to hook to the pump,will this work as good as the other

and the 3rd,is how I would prefer,I really don't want the plumbing across the front of the tank,but if the flow would be better full loop then I'll do it

ex.1 and ex.2 I would use (10) 3/4" nozzles,

ex.3 I would use (6) 1" nozzles....all of the other PVC would be 1.5"

which would work the best,and how would be best to hook it to the pump....spa flex or hard line,after using the spa flex before,I really don't trust it for the pressure side of the plumbing,my glue joints didn't feel very sturdy but it never leaked,it was on a drain though....I could use it on the intake side of the pump and move the pump to the side of the tank for a more direct connection of the pump to the manifold,if that would work

yep,that contraption will lay on top of the tank,the nozzles will be under water,hopefully enough to not draw in air from the surface

Basile · 08-17-2009, 11:30 AM

I like the second idea actually.

good choice Basile,that one will be easier to connect to the pump than the first one would be,and will probably be the one I use

thank you,

that's a great buy on the Canon,I just can't afford it right now....I have a 35mm Canon SLR (older model) and a Minolta 35mm SLR both with extra lens and cases,both are excellent cameras,...I got the Canon used,I bought the Minolta new,if I'd planned ahead,I'd bought the 35mm Canon Rebel instead of the Minolta,I wasn't thinking of a digital upgrade at the time but with the 35mm Rebel,I could have used the lenses with the digital SLR like yours.... I always carried the Canon while riding my ATV,I used the Minolta for home photos,the Canon is a much tougher camera than the other for the beating and banging of off road torture

.....having the 35mm film developed is just too time consuming and expensive.....
