eh.. I've seen so many different charts with different measurements on it. This chart shows the max flow is around 1410. The return is the same piping as the 525 and 450, so about 3/4 inch.Dang , 1/2 in return looks restricting.
Is that the tank weight, or shipping weight for the whole package?Well, I at least know the tank weight now. 540 is more than I thought it would weigh.
Alright, so just to clarify a few things: the 750 uses the same plumbing sizes as the 350, 450, etc... I took the return nozzle from my 350 and hooked it up to the 750 and it fit perfectly. I also took a 3/4 inch MPT and confirmed that it screws in perfectly to the end of the return line (the barb fitting screws out). If wanting to hard plumb to the return line, there's no need to buy a metric conversion because a standard 3/4 inch female fitting screws into the end of the return line.
I skimmed through @Broadfield 's post and unless I'm mistaken, he doesn't know what his return flow is due to having his L1 run multiple reactors as well.
I'd like to believe that the return line can handle more than 600 gph lol. The recommended pump size on Red Sea's website is 1850 gph (for the 750 xxl). @RedSeaKev is this flow rate achievable in the 750 xxl? I'm trying to rationalize why the same plumbing would be used on a tank that's twice the size.
I thought the same thing when assembling my 525XL... I got an extra trim piece of the opposite color as well. Maybe they meant to do this? Not sure why! Good luck with the new tank, I'm sure it's going to be awesome!
I'll be running the Varios 8 as well, though I'm debating whether or not to throw on a GHL flow meter.
Haven't started. Going nice and slow with this build. Right now I'm working in a cad program to try and figure out what I want to do with the dry side of the cabinet. I have my 350 to tide me over in the mean time. Here's the first iteration of what I'm thinking.Are you finish plumbing it yet?
They threw in an extra piece.. It's the wrong color though lol
