Hi everyone
I have a question today, that I cannot find on the forum so here we go.
With my new setup, I am looking into different ways to direct the water from my return into the aquarium itself. Fo mr current tank I did not use substrate, so I just directed all water straight into the tank, pointing down toward the bottom of tank.
I however decided that I will put substrate into the new shallow reef that I am constructing. My return pump will be a dct 12000 and my return line is 32mm pvc with only a combination of 45" elbows.
Two questions, will my return line handle the waterflow and secondly,( and most importantly ) how do I direct the water back into the tank? What is the best way? Straight into the tank from the 32mm pipe, do I t it off, do I put something else at end of pipe to redirect? What is the best way from experience. I know what worked well for me, but please we always want to improve.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
