Manifold?

k9asia · 06/01/2008, 05:31 PM

Working on my main return Manifold and wondering were the dump valve for excess pressure should be. Before the return and equipment or after. IE. DUMP, RTNS, CHILLER, FUGE, CA REACTOR, ECT>>>

Or, EQUIPMENT then DUMP?

Using a Reeflow Goby or Baracuda, so i will have more than enough flow and whant to be able to throtle the flow without to much back pressure on the pump..

Chris from Reeflo came to our reef club meeting and said those pumps could be throttled with no affect on the pump. If you're still concerned, put the dump at the end.
