    1/2 also

    they make it in 1/2 also, and I'm sure it could be made out of 3/4

    Do you think it would work? You could have flow going in every which direction. I was thinking of mounting it horizontal in the center of the tank facing down with a return line in each corner.

    if not, the return could be on one end and it could be on the other like a ring of flow (sort of like the rings of fire)

    Anything less then 3/4 would only provide pressure and not much volume and as a recirculating system Pressure is not what you need Id not use anything less then 3/4 myself and 1inch would be far better.

    so, if I were to build it out of 3/4, would it be a good idea, or should I just use a few nozzles and be done with it?
