Need some ideas

I have the closed loop on my 65 up and running. It is a 1.5" bulkhead in the back of the tank draining down to a little giant 4-mdqx-sc pump, which returns the water up 2 feet (which means approx. 1250 gph) to a 1" that t's to two .5" going into .5" loc-line. The nozzles I have are creating a rod of water that is pretty intense. I would like to use penductors, but haven't seen any .5" anywhere. Do they exist, and would they help with the water rod?

thanks, Dave

How many nozzles do you have? You may need more. You could also drill holes in the pvc to lessen the pressure

Well from what I have found I need to up the 1/2" to 3/4" and I can get 3/4" penductors. I think that will be the ticket. There is going to be a big change of plans with the tank as I am going to take it back out of the wall, and put it in front of that same wall. I am leaving the cut out and going to put the tank tight to the wall with the plumbing going into the fish room.

Right on Dave, Sounds good
