    depending on how slow your flow is the 1/4 will clog. 3/8 allows alot of water to pass for sps tanks or large tanks. my sps tank has a daily consumption rate of 11 dKH and the 1/4 would never allow that much to flow threw.

    Otty where are you installing the flow control valve ? I use the simple 1/4 Parker valve But I control mine on the inlet not the outlet.. But yes the Precision site is a nice place I left ETSS skimmers long ago once I went to their Bullet skimmer. They work.
