?Part(s) to send return water back into tank

B

Can anyone refer me to a good method to loop the return line(s) over the tank and back into the tank? Pix would help and probably be easier. (or a link to a supplier if possible)

It would be great to retain any flow I can from the mag 9.5 pump. I wonder if anyone uses what I heard someone refer to as a "U tube" versus 2 90 deg. elbows which would slow it down more. I have used a SQWD wavemaker plumbed to a couple small 90s that connected to a couple loc line like peices, but I know there is a better way

Thx

We have THESE U-tubes in our 65. We use a Mag 7 that splits the feed to 2 of them going in over the top. I wouldn't say we lose much flow as a result of the U-Tubes. When we were using a SQWD, we had to run a Mag 9.5 to get just about as much flow as we're getting now out of the 7

We come out of the Mag 7 with 3/4" vinyl hose and the use the 3/4" version of THIS TEE to split the flow to the 2 U-Tubes.
