Hmmm, I make it 2.7%....
You'd really want to arrange the flow into the base of the 'T' to make sure you got an equal split.
Thanks for posting the results anyway. Looks like I probably wasted my £25 quid :-)
Cheers, Mike.
Oh dear :-(
Hope it dries out OK. If you can leave the wet connectors on a radiator for a day or so it should be OK. Best to make sure they really are dry in case something starts to rot....
I'd be very interested what you find with that. I have split my fx5 output with Y pieces to include heater and co2 atomiser and including the jubilee clips it came to about £25 worth of hardware, which was the cheepest I could get it.
Looking forward to your results :) Mike.
Hi,
A small restriction given by a short bit of something won't make all that much difference. It will make a difference, but not much. If you take a long piece of pipe which is a small diameter then you will see a noticeable effect.
Water flow in pipes is analogous to current flow in wires...
No worries, Paul.
My tank is 36" x 18" x 18" so roughly 180l. The spray bar is most of the way along the back so is about 28" long leaving room to get the intake and outflow pipes in.... There are 24 holes each of 4.5mm diameter. I originally drilled them 3mm diameter, but the flow round the...
Hi,
It's a long list.... There are 2x one inch 'Y' pieces, 4 x one inch to 20mm reducers, the heater and diffuser.
The heater and diffuser connect together with 20mm i/d smooth wall flexible plastic pipe. The arrangment is as in the picture above. What I didn't say above, but would say it, is...
Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been away working :-(
Well thanks very much :-) Yes, I waited for a few weeks or so before eventually finding the 'Y' pieces on Ebay at a sensible price. My gut instinct told me that 'T's would give more resitance...
The inlet is the standard Fluval...
Hi,
That's exactly what I did. I got the 25mm 'Y' splitters off Ebay, but it was a one off auction. They do sell a 'T' version them in my LFS though along with the reducers etc. Try to do the split before reducing the pipe size to maximise flow and then you can always reduce it using the tap on...
