I'm getting ready to replumb my return line. I have plumbing worked out, valves, pump, unions, etc. My question is on entering the DT. I don't have a drilled tank so right now I'm just using PVC elbows and cascading into the tank using an elbow in tank to direct current. I'm looking for feedback on whether I should just let it "waterfall" into the tank or use loc line and/or a return jet.
Flow isn't an issue so I'm just looking for some input and feedback as to what others are doing. Surface action and gas exchange are also not an issue as I have my flow pumps in-tank handling those duties for the most part. Tank is a 40 breeder and I'm pushing ~300 GPH through the overflow and return pump. Head pressure isn't a factor here as I have my DC pump running at roughly 45% capacity and it's driving water through the overflow as expected. I just want some ideas before I start building the new plumbing out. Have a plan, work the plan kind of stuff.
