Question two: I plan on having six outlet Tee’s, one in each corner between the 45 degree angles, one in the center of each long side. The tank is 36″LX18″X18″. What I haven’t been able to determine searching through the plumbing/manifold FAQs is what size should the flexi ball socket tubing for the outlets be, 3/4″ or 1/2″. I’d like to get the best flow possible coming out of the outlets-not too weak, not too restricted. Thanks again for all the help you folks have given me and fellow aquarists. Chris
