Did a little upgrade on my 20 gallon today...

[Physh1]

I had 2 MJ1200 pumps returning water to my tank and I needed more flow so I got a Mag5 and a 3/4" SCWD to replace them. Tons more flow and I am running the Mag5 full and my DIY overflow is handling it perfectly...anyhow here are a few pics.

By the way, I'm looking for misc zoo frags, softy frags, etc so if you have anything you're willing to sell and ship let me know.

More pics of my system are here: http://www.californiareefs.com/tank20reef2.htm

Does the SCWD restrict the flow of the Mag5?

I don't know for sure really but I would say no, not at all. The outlet on the Mag5 is 1/2" and I had to adapt it up to 3/4 for the hose for the SCWD and my returns...pretty unrestricted.

Yes. Any bend, or split will restrict flow. SCWDs drop your flowrate by 20-33%.

20-33% that sucks, plus the loops.....i was thinking about getting one .....not anymore.. :shock:
