I'm running a 57W UV so I'm trying to dial in the flow. The UV is plumbed directly into the return.

I have so many elbows and T's and an unused manifold, I think its too inaccurate to calcuate the head pressure. Here's a video of my return flow.. Do you think this is around 300gph, 500 or 800? Guestimate?

The return is split into two nozzles.
