Eurobrace filtration questions

[Ballinxalex]

It's no biggi to me really I already have a fx5 on it and also a 2250 so these 2260s are just extra

You're making it harder than it is mr baller

[Ballinxalex]

The idea looks funky, but it'll work. I was thinking why not just do it like this? You wouldn't lose as much flow, but the return/intake will be offset by how long your eurobrace is from the back wall.

I think I am gonan try to do this tonight and see how it goes

you will notice a significant loss in flow from a 2260 with 2 90degree elbows. And you will have less pressure in the lines bc of the pipe being bigger like stated above in which will equal less flow..

[Ballinxalex]

Yes... The larger the pipe, the less resistance for the filter.

sounds like i am gonna have to go to homedepot on fri to finish the project thanks guys lmk any more tips i should consider before i start building the intake

[mistahoo]

so if i kept to my plan in the begining and just double the top u pipe the there would be less flow loss?

Drilling the brace would work but the why in the first picture will work too. If you double the size of the U pipe keeping all the other parts stock you won't loss any flow.

i think he's in love with PVC lol everything he wants to make for his tank is made of PVC LOL

What am I suppose to use then ?

[mistahoo]

Some people just love them some PVC. Can't blame 'em for it.

Just save yourself the time and trouble dude.

Just drill the euro brace so you can put the intake and etc though it. Don't need a bulk head

That would bother me a lot and I would end up taking it out

45 degree bends will increase flow vs your first pic with the 90 degree bends,and it will still sit against the back glass.
