Setting up the plumbing/drilling on my tank.
I would like to run the canister filter, and also my circulation pump from the same bulkhead fitting, a 1 1/2" bulkhead.
According to THIS, a 1.5" pipe should flow 2100 GPH.
My circulation pump is 950 gph while the canister is 450 gph so I believe the pipe sizing will be sufficient.
My question is for the strainer. I was looking at the Inland Seas sucion strainers in 1.5". They come in both 3.5 and 6" lengths. Will either be a restriction in the system? I assume the 6" would flow better but cannot find any flow specs
Thanks!
