Another water flow question

[clowninround]

Ok, when we get the 210 it's gonna be an "all-glass" RR, with megaflow. I am looking at the box that my husband has for his and it says that it has a max flow rate of 600 for each. My guess is because it's only one inch pvc. When I read about the external pumps, like the dolphin 3000 it says to get the max flow rate, I should use 1.5" pvc and that using one inch it cuts it down by half. So here's the million dollar question, can I go to HD and replace it so that I get better flow rates, I want to completely elminate PH's. Also can I buy the fittings I need to still use all the parts, such as the return nozzle? Or is there a better way of doing this?

You will be surprised by how much those megaflows can handle for overflow im pushing about 1600gph through the 2 of mine and they have no problem at all and are VERY quiet. I think you will notice that the standpipes of the megaflow can easily handle more than they say. HTH

O cool so I should get the flow I need without the use of ph's?
