it's probably going to be alittle too strong for just one 3/4 SS..they recommend max 850gph so I don't know if or how long the motor will hold with the extra pressure going through it....IMO I would use two 1/2" SS

I already purcase a Sea swirl 3/4" and was only looking to use one sea swirl only!

well since you where willing to go buy a pump for it. so you have a few more dollars.

I would try to return or sell it and get a 1" seaswirl that could run off of your return pump that would be ideal.

you could also use a ball valve to throttle your return back a tiny bit and use the 3/4 seaswirl

or just go for it and see how she fly (what i would do most likely)


good luck I love my seaswirls I just wish they turned faster

so just T off your return pump (with ball valves) ~1/2 going to your existing return, ~1/2 going to sea swirl

Thanks all for your great input! I'm going in the Albano direction, since I already commited to buying a sa swirl 3/4 in from a member. And I'm trying to add flow but not to excessive being this will be a frag tank.
So I will T-Off my return add a ball valve and 1/2 to my sea swirl. I will let you all know it comes out. Thanks again

a wise choice!

for the record, I have 2 SS 1" units on my DT, that I bought used 8 years ago...they have been running 24/7 for the past 8 years, without problems!
