Lemme explain what I'm doing to paint a better picture. I'm doing this for my return pump. I'm redoing the plumbing to make a frag tank. 3/4 barbed to a "T" fitting. The tank is already plumbed with dual 1/2" returns but it's all flex tubing. The current "T" on there is 1/2" female threaded. Better yet would be to go 3/4" barbed from the pump to 1/2" male threaded to fit inside the female threaded "T". I figured that fitting does not exist, so I was going to replace the "T" with a 3/4" slip "T", run barbed to slip from the return, add reducers to both sides of the output on the "T" the go 1/2" slip to barbed and keep the existing flex tubing going to the return nozzles. Let me take a pic of this. Hang tight...

You could go 3/4 barbed to 3/4 slip... put a small piece of pipe then go 3/4 slip to 1/2 male adapter to your threaded T fitting . [emoji4]

Alright, awesome. I have the return fittings in my shopping carts. I think redoing the drain should be easier. All I have to do is reduce from 1.5" to 1" and throw 2 x 1" 45s on there which I think I already have. I'll post up pics when I'm done.

To ship a dollar fitting, they are asking about $15 in shipping. Ummm........ NO! But at least I have pics on my phone of what I need so I can ask for help at the big box stores.

I was at Lowe's getting fittings when you must have posted this. I'm using an eheim compact 2000 plus with a dual half inch Returns on a 40 breeder with the glass-holes 700 gph overflow.

I didn't know it was better to reduce the flow at the pump. Any particular reason?
