I am guessing you are referring to return line and something like locline?

i have no clue lol.Im looking for something thats hob since my tanks is not drilled.Like the overflow is hob.but in need to find the same for the return side.And what is locline?? Thanks for my answering my Q's

Probably the easiest thing to do is make a "U" from PVC to hang over your tank and put a locline nozzle on the end of it so you can aim it where you like to control flow.

Loc-lines are great but you could also just T off the return to two Directional Return Spouts on each end of the tank.

Ok i bought this kit. http://www.pentairaquatics.com/products/detail/customflo_starter.htm Just wondering if it will be fine.

That kit is fine for surface agitation but will give you very little current. If you have or get any moderate to high flow corals you will probably still have to supplement with a ph or closed loop system.

Yeah im not worried about that right now.i have 3 maxijet 1200 ph.I just wanted to make sure it will do its job for the return.I have a 33gal long and ill be using a 600gph overflow with a mag drive 7 Pump.

Sounds good, I was thinking of getting the Customflo system to do a closed loop myself. I like the clean look of it
