    Better statement the drains are all 1 inch for both the overflows and the closed loop. The Return lines are 3/4 to the tank and 1 inch to the tee with hose barb to the Sea Swirls. Also only 3 real 90's all the rest are self engineered 45 turns to sace on flow. The 90's are 2 on the intake of the closed loop and one leaving the sump to go to the return pump.

    I understand the waiting thing seeing as I started this tank in late January! between cash and waiting for equipment I am the poster boy for going slow! Good luck with the sump!

    Thanks Phil And yes I agree the cash flow will defiantly slow things down. You are proceeding a little faster than I am I still don't have a drop of water in the tank yet and I started in December 2005:eek: ::)
