pump and split out question

[arowana718]

Hello reefers,

i just Purchased this jebao dct 20000 for my 360g tank. Didnt want to get two pumps. My output is 3/4. So the pump has reducers.

Heres the setup. Let me know what u guys think.

Pump + 1" barb + check valve + 1" barb + Y split reducer from 1" to 3/4

Looks good to me. I want to see what others will say so I am tagging along.

I'd put unions on either side of that check valve. In time it's going to need to be removed and soaked in vinegar.

I would replace the metal clamps with plastic.

I can just unlock the pump by twisting it open

Any specific reason why you don't want two pumps? Cost maybe? Reason I ask is the advantage of having two is you now have a back up if one fails.

I thought about it. It would be Too much crap in my sump. Lol i want to keep it simple. Plus this pump has "feeding mode" With controller for flow rate too.

I do have extra pump as back up.
