Hi all,
I have a tank with a single 1.5" overflow and a custom sump. I am thinking of adding the ReefMat 500 and saw that the input is only 1". My question is does anyone have an idea of how much of a reduction in flow would adding a 1.5" to 1" reducer would create?
My return pump is a COR-20 running at 100% and the flow meter on the return reads 570 gph. The tank is a 80g cube so I feel like I'm already on the lower side of return flow.
Also the return line coming off the pump is 1" so is there even any advantage to have a 1.5" overflow?
Is it negligible? Am I overthinking it? Probably overthinking it.
Thanks for any input.
