    I now have 1" PVC for my return with 2 90 degree elbows connected together (over the lip of the tank) with a threaded coupling in between, then a 45 degree elbow into the tank. I am wanting to add loc-line in place of this. My plan was to take out the last 90 elbow turning into the tank with a 3/4" screw male loc-line, to a Y 3/4" to 1/2" then 2 1/2" loc-lines to distribute the water. My pump is a Mag 7, also with a branched off line for backpressure into the sump.

    Should I stick with this for a little more flow, or stay with 3/4" loc-line into the Y then 2 return pipes in the tank?
    Thanks,

    the loc line would look and work better for directing the flow to where you want it.
