What do you guys use for your water return lines? I am using part pond tubing and part PVC with a "T" and two 90 degree turns. I am getting micro bubbles. I just want to know what you guys use and if you have any bubbles from your return lines.

I have two magnum 12, I use the python tubing, that they sell for aquarium safe hose connectors. You can change the lenght or leave extra length based on where you cut it, to regulate water return. It was the easiest thing to do. Eventually I want to call a plumber in and have a long pvc pipe sent to the other part of the basement that is not finished and have a large sump there.

I laso wanted to add that I use a single quite one 5000 (1330gph) so I have to "T" the lines to get to both returns. What do you guys use to "T" your line.
