Seaswirls quiet one 14000

coker98 · 02/05/2014, 10:29 AM

Good morning everyone

I set up my tank with two 3/4 inch seaswirls being supplied by a quiet one 14000 pump.

I am getting much more flow through the right side than I am the left.

Any ideas why? The plumbing is clear tubing to a 3/4 inch bulkhead then through about 26 inches of pvc that is "t'd" off at the top and using black silicone tubing to supply the seaswirls.

I cant figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

yes the left is restricted more than the right..
plain and simple.

Is the "T" in the center of the tank and equal runs to the left and right side?

The left is a tad longer.
