Thinking about adding a second return pump to my 360 display tank. Tank is up and running for about a year and I have had flow issues. I have a Syncra 12, 3200gph as my return. I do have my chiller teed off of the main return with a gate valve to slow the flow through the chiller.
My tank is 96" x 24" x 36" tall it is 1.25 thick acrylic on all 4 sides. with an island center overflow. the tank is viewed from all sided. I have two 1.5" drain lines and one 1.25 " emergency drain tube. The two main drain lines are closed down a lot to create a 100% siphon. I was thinking of adding a DC pump next to my main, something like a waveline DC12000. then run a rigid pvc pipe up the side and over the top and then in the tank with some inductors on them.
Other then draining and drilling to add a closed loop I think this is my only answer. I Would like to hear what your thoughts are.
