Hi, Welcome to the forum. Pumps are great at pushing, but not so good at pulling water. To maximise potential flow from a pump you want as few restrictions as possible before the pump (in the feed). Sharing a feed would not be a good idea IMO although Its possible that it could work without an...

^^ Love home experimenting :D I wish I had seen this thread earlier. but, as you have found out, head pressure (AKA lifting height) relates the the ability of the pump to lift water in an open loop (where the output of the pump is not below the surface of the water that the input is drawing...

Re: External filters - help! You shouldn't have a problem. I was merely trying to explain why head pressure is useful in a closed loop. All pumps should have sufficient head to push past most obstructions used in an aquarium. A pump with a higher head rating will have its overall turnover...

Re: External filters - help! I would say, the main disadvantage would be that the filter will be harder to properly bleed. If you have difficulties, see if you can use longer tubes and lower the filter to prime it after a filter clean. The vertical distance between the tank and the filter will...

Or use both... You may find it tricky finding a T with valves. You will probably find a Y, but that will disrupt flow more.

They work really well actually. I have never used them personally, as I never had the need to, but I have seen them in use. As you can imagine, sometimes you need to make very tight bends within a PC case, so we use really soft tubing to enable that (really expensive Tygon branded stuff was...

When I used to water cool PCs a few years back, people used to use these things to prevent kinks. I cant find any for a 22mm OD though in the couple of minutes I had to look.
