Plumbing help on a 120

nemonick84 · 09/21/2006, 08:35 PM

Finally getting ready to start the plumbing on my 120 in-wall. Just need some input on what a good flow rate would be and what size of pvc to use. The tank will house SPS, LPS, and a few softies. Any pics or advice from anyone who has a ~120 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a panworld 50px-x which I think pushes around 900gph at 4' head. My return pipes are 1" and my drain pipe is 1 1/2". The return doesn't really give that much flow since it branches off into 4 outlets so I use 4 seios for extra current.

I think a closed loop would be one of the best ammount of flow on a 120 if you dont mind the drilling. I would think a sequence dart with possible oceans motion attached with spa flex would be the way to go. Cheap alternatives woudl be two seio 1500's. I suppose a nice tunze would be pretty good as well
