Return Pump Plumbing Question

[rememberme]

Hey hey

I have a NewJet 3000 (3000lph) pump as a return to my display from the sump. It's not the best pump, but it will do for now.

What is the best way of returning the water to the display? Should I use flexible tubing like the green Eheim stuff or should I use rigid PVC?

I have some left over PVC (about an inch wide) is this anygood? If I used rigid, should I use some the size of the outlet nozzle or should I go wider etc?

It's a FOwLR

You can use either the rigid or flexible PVC, they will perform the same for the exception of the flexible stuff to be moved around a bit.
Either way I would use the 1", if you use therigid PVC I woud put a union on it after the pump so you can easily dis connect it for cleaning.
The return nozzle will be fine at 1" or 3/4

I'm not sure if it's available to you, but flexible PVC is a great item to use. We can find it here in the states at pool/spa supply stores.
