So I bought this pump on Marine Depot : Tunze Silence Electronic Controllable Recirculation Pump 1073.050 - 790 GPH.

I currently have a JBJ RL-45. I bought this pump to upgrade from the dual pump system this tank came with. I wasn't thinking when I bought it that I needed to get a Y Splitter for it so I could attached both of my returns to it. I've tried my local stores and none of them carry the Y splitter I'd need. Mind you there are only 3 stores in the Nashville area.

Anyway, I bought this pump because it was showcased in Marine Depot's tank upgrades for the tank I have. I've put out the question for them as well, but have received no response yet.

Would anyone on here have any recommendations on online stores I can get this from, or stores I can call that would probably ship this out to me?

I might be missing the target on what your asking, but you can make a splitter. This is what I ended up doing, might not be what your looking for or a world class design but it works for me. If nothing else it might stir some ideas.

Thanks for the suggestion. I got a response from marine depot and they did have the part. I just needed a Y insert to go from the pump to the two returns tubed in the tank. I went from two recirculating pumps to one. This all goes in the back of the tank where the other two pumps are currently.
