OK ,I have a mag 18 in my display 120g with a 40 g sump, with a manifold splitting off

Right now its just running a dual reactor and my return line,
Im wondering if its going to be enough to send to the frag tank.

Should i use pvc or vinyl tubing..theres only a 1inch bulkhead for the drainand 3/4id for return,I know i dont need much flow in it since i will have powerheads but im just concerned about the pump.

The main tank valve is open 3/4 or a little more then half way if that helps anyone

Thanks for any input..

Mag18 will be more than enough to supply the frag tank along with your main system.

Flexible hose would be the route to go, unless you know for sure, that your frag tank will stay in that spot for years to come.

Well it will be there for some time but i was worried bout having elbows and 45's and then it will have to go up 4 foot to the side of the frag tank..
