Pump for penductors

[Anonymous]

Looking to drive 2 ea 3/4" penductors with a single pump. I have my new tank drilled for a 1" return and 2 ea 1 1/2" drain. Looking to come from the return with 1" pipe tee to the sides then reduce to 3/4"pipe before dropping it down in to the tank.

Tank is 156 gal (54x26x26). I am leaning towards a 40 breeder for the sump.

I am thinking a panworld 150PS should do the trick.

No looking to hijack Wazz, but would I benefit from penductors on my two returns? I use a mag 18, does it have enough power to make them worth it?

No problem. I do not thinnk a mag 18 would give you enough power to get much benifit from the penductors. They require pressure rated pumps.

That's what I figured. Thanks.

I think it's worth a shot. I'm also using a non-pressure rated pump (Dart), and I clearly saw a difference in output. Even if it's only a slight increase in your case, penductors are certainly cheap enough to make it worthwhile.

So how about my question? :wink:

I'd pay $30 more for the 200PS and get an additional 650gph. You can conservatively expect 2X increase.

Wow..those are neat. I had doubts about splitting my 1200gph return into 4 returns, but this is great! Now I can have 4 returns and not worry about decreased flow out of each nozzle. Pretty kick ass

I use the Iwaki 40rlxt that is rated for 1200 GPH. It works nicely. I'd go with a pump with a similar GPH if I were you.
