So I'm running a Mag9.5 as my return pump, or I will before I go to bed tonight anyway and the original plan was to put 2 outlets aiming at the front glass to be deflected back at the rock and 2 more straight down into the corners through a constriction (aka a 1/4 or 3/8 hole drilled in a cap on the end of 1/2 inch PVC. I was just wondering, could I add 2 more outlets like the ones in the corners but closer to the middle of the tank? Is there enough flow to keep the 'stuff' in suspension?
The tank is a 29g bb, I've lost track of how much rock is in it...plenty. I'm rushing this as my canister filter which was being used more for added flow decided not to turn back on last night after a water change.
I'm on my way to the Lowe's, I'll buy the extra 'T's' for the 2 extra outlets if the opinion is that there is enough flow. If there isn't, I'm still planning on running a closed loop with a Mag5.
edit: The water has to get up and over the rim of the tank which is 5 feet higher then the pump
