Hello pros! Question....
I have a 125 with dual overflows in each corner. Each side has a 1 inch drain and a 3/4 inch return.
My main pump is a Magdrive 24 (2400gph) with about a 4 ft head. Previously (like an idiot) I had a ball valve on my drain and no gate or ball valve on my return.
With the ball valve on the return, i had to slow the drain down some to keep the excess gurgling down and keep things running equal.
This time I plan to leave the drain free of valves and put a gate valve on my return to fine tune things.
My question is this...With 1 inch drains and my pump through 3/4 returns, will the pump even keep up? Basically, will the tank drain faster than the pump can resupply?
I will be using the common Durso to quiet things down.
Should i use the 3/4 inch side for the drain and the 1 inch side as the return? Little help as I want this to go right.....
