Overflow Return ???

reefed419 · Mar 11, 2013

Hello,
I have a 60G cube that I am running 2-1" overflows on. I have a mag 5 currently running on the tank, but have a brand new mag 9.5 sitting in my cabinet not in use. My question is can my 2-1" drains handle the mag 9.5, or will i get siphon gurgles? Just trying to get some more turn over in the tank. Thanks for your time

a one inch pipe being gravity feed (no pressure) will flow right around 960gph.

Is your return you main source of water flow in the display tank? I think mag 9.5 would be too much for a 60 Gallon. Keep in mind this will also increase the turn over in your sump.

Hope that helps. Good Luck
