It's much more than that. The cross sectional area of a 1" sch40 PVC pipe (I.D. is 1.049") is 0.864". A 1.5" (I.D. is 1.61") cross section is 2.03". That's 2.3 x the area. I'd bet that replacing the 1" with 1 1/2" would show a sizeable increase.So I'm cutting that down by 1/3 right out of the gate.
But what about the overflow where it jumps down to 3/4" at the base?It's much more than that. The cross sectional area of a 1" sch40 PVC pipe (I.D. is 1.049") is 0.864".

The resistance is cumulative (return pipe plus the 3/4" bulkheads). Do you have unions in line with your overflow? It would be interesting to be able to put together a quick test run of inch and a half to check the improvement.But what about the overflow where it jumps down to 3/4" at the base?
The 1-1/2" would have to convert down to 3/4".
And the flow meter itself is 1".
No, not where I'd be able to really change the pipe easily.The resistance is cumulative (return pipe plus the 3/4" bulkheads). Do you have unions in line with your overflow? It would be interesting to be able to put together a quick test run of inch and a half to check the improvement.
One funny thing to note already...
I haven't had enough flow through the fuge to keep the macros tumbling.
Well within minutes, there were tiny bubbles stuck all over the macros and now they are spinning with gusto.
I hope ur joking with a tank like thatInterested in your take on micro bubbles. I currently run them every time I forget to top off the tank.
