    That is a very nice job. Excellent way of splitting your drain. The only thing I would change is put a ball valve going to your fuge to control the flow going there. Very easy. Since you are adding length, just cut the pipe, then cut a bit more off and attach the valve.

    Very good job though. Really.

    THANX ;D and I bought the ball valve but there isn't really that much flow. I would say 10 gph, So I didn't end up putting it on. But yeah thanx again ;D

    That doesnt sound right to me, the way that is split you should be getting about equal flow out of each side.
    what size return pump are you using?
