As is it worked fine but someone out there has got to be think won't this thing clog up. Well the original design on Reef Central didn't have a strainer and there was some debate wiether you needed one or not. It is a 1 1/4 all the way to the sump. So what ever goes in the top will come out the bottom right. WRONG!!!!
It turns out that a turbos snail is the perfect size to get stuck in one of these. Fortunally the I had the good luck the the snail deside to make a trip down the pipe right as I got up to feed the fish. So I managed to turn the return pump off before any flooding happened. So I had to make a strainer. I add another 90 elbow, a cap, and a strainer made out of a section of pipe
