Watered tested new to me 187 gallon tank and planning plumbing but have questions.
Tank has 1 stand pipe drain thats 1.5".
I was planning on making a manifold off return line to hook up my chiller, uv sterilizer, carbon and phosphate reactors.
Questions are is 1.5" drain gonna handle flow of 3434 gph pump ?
No idea what flow will be after manifold and head lose.
#2 will schedule 40 be enough with this much flow or does it need 80?
Plan to move in around a years time and don't have plans to take tank cross country so don't wanna break the bank but also don't want massive water issuies.
Any help/tips at all would be appreciated as I have never hard plumbed a tank before always used hoses.
