I have a Q
My new setup is 75g with an external over flow box that has 3x1" holes as drains. Then i have 2 x 1/2" as return each will be split using loc lines piping. I do NOT want any kind of power heads in this tank so I need a powerfull return that will be the heart of my system and after watching this video this look very promising. Now , should I get the M or L size . The pump will feed a chiller and a reactor thro manifold.
Thx
Ever since I got into this hobby I have had vortech powerheads. According to the literature from Ecotech and what I have read online, NTM was designed to help stir up detritus and move it out of the tank. If you watch the Q&A video, around 24:20 mark the guy from Ecotech tells us that isn't true with a fixed speed return pump and the only way to get that detritus out is by increasing the speed of the pump so that it will suck down more tank water into the sump. Am I misinterpreting what he is saying?
That answers my question, thank you.
Now if i decided to keep the blue connectors. Should I buy a threaded barb or slip ?
Very cool features. Does ESL have the ability to launch an email letting me know my pump is shut off and identify whether inlet or outlet are obstructed?
What is the size of the inlet and outlet on the vectors L1?
