I would put a couple of ball valves on the first couple of outlets. I used a this same size manifold with only (3) 3/4" outlets and the last one got very little water. Of course it depends on the pump, which was not the problem with mine as I have had several big pumps hooked up to it. Mine was limited by the return.
BTW, how is the seal in your Barracuda doing?
2 x 1.5" bulkheads in the middle of the back wall.
You lost me here, what are these for?
1 x 1.5" drain line to the pump (is this enough drain to a barracuda?)
I used 1.5 to feed mine and it was fine.
i plan on the return line coming up from the pump to the back of my hood. there i will attach it to a manifold which will be a 1.5" PVC pipe running along the back of the hood with T's attached along its length that drop return lines down the back of the tank to the bulkheads. i figure having the main line split above the bulkhead line will help maintain a higher amount of pressure.
You are correct.
I need to know how i should connect the line to the manifold. should i just run a T junction up and connect it in the middle or should i split it lower and connect the supply to the ends of the manifold. I was also thinking of doing a 4 way split and connecting the supply in the middle and both ends.
I have tried both and don't see where it matters much as long as you have a valve to regulate the 3/4" outlets. You probably realize this, but the two end pieces of the manifold can be 90's with a 3/4" reducer placed in them.
