Hey good people of the R2R community, I just did a test run after finishing all the necessary plumbing for my setup. Now I kind of had a feeling that this would happen, it seems my return pump is way to powerful for my setup. I initially had the gate valve on the return, but i ended up switching it over to my drain side for fear of putting too much strain on my pump, i obviously regret that move quite a bit right now. Any how I have an idea that I would like to bounce off you guys, let me know if it can work.
Here is what it looks like back there
I'm thinking of putting a Gate 2 inches or so above the return elbow, and a T 10 to 12 inches above that to branch a 2nd return to the other end of the tank.
Oh I'm a bit low on cash and would prefer utilizing what I have laying around , which is a 3/4 gate .
Is that too restrictive, or do i really need a 1 inch like what's on the the drain?
