Mag drive plumbing question

[nemodad]

Hi all,

I purchased a Mag 9.5 for my 75G tank project . I have an idea of how i want it setup, just need some suggestions.

What i have in mind is a tube coming from the pump into a T and from there in to two U tube outlets.

The mag specs say to use a 1.5" minimum inner diameter tube for max flow...
This is where i get all messed up, i don't want to have a reducers everywhere and at the tee which i plan on replacing with a SWCD in the future and i haven't seen a 1.5" U tube.

What would be the best way to approach this? Should i just use 1' diameter the whole way?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'd probably just get the SCWD and plumb it with all 1" flex tube now.

Ok should i use reinforced tubing or regular vinyl?

I would use the reinforced but its a bit of a pain. If you fill a bucket with hot water and soak it for a few minutes you can usually get it to do what you want it to.
