I really like the flow I see in videos of people using gyre type pumps. However, I don't want to see something like that in my nano.
I will test this either way, but, what is everyone's opinion on a slot cut piece of pvc as the return nozzle? It would basically look like a T about 10" long sitting at one end of the tank made out of 3/4" pvc painted black and a 1/8" or 3/16" slot cut the length of it on either side of the T fitting and caps on either end. Make sense?
My return pump was always going to be the only source of flow. The tank is 36" long 12 gallon. I will have about 350gph after head loss.
Don't really need modes of flow just a better way to distribute it without a big ugly manifold.
Thanks for your input!
