Where do you recommend I can get this line lock at a good price?theChad said:Just for the halibut,
Here is the Line Lock set up I used with a 1250GPH in a 7 foot tank. It's currently set up with 3/4" PVC. I changed it out when I switched to small tetras, dwarf cichlids so they could swim in a more natural motion.
One I had pointed toward the top of the water about an inch under the tanks water line, the other pointed down so the current would curtain down the side and create a current toward my overflow along the bottom. They also snap apart (it's hard but possible), to adjust lengths.

Good idea Cory,Aquarium Co-Op said:I ended up plumbing 1 inch. Incase I want to upgrade my pump
Yeah mostly I'd need to find one that is energy efficient too. Once you get to far above 1000gph, there are a lot of pumps that are real energy hogs.theChad said:Good idea Cory,Aquarium Co-Op said:I ended up plumbing 1 inch. Incase I want to upgrade my pump
This is a larger tank, if I remember correctly about 170g? I would recommend a pump somewhere in the 1200GPH range for this system. Your 1000Gph pump may be enough but its smart to look toward the future. This will eleviate the headache of replumbing
