after seeing the results of restricting the input of the eheim pumps, i was pondering a way to not restrict the flow to the 3/4" input. if i put a t-line before the input that had two 1/2" barbs, and one 3/4" barb and then connected that to the pump with some 3/4" hose, would that help?
fill tube
(1/2")
pump <- (3/4")<^>(1/2") <- from wb
also, since this might be hard to put together (aka require more parts and time) would it help if i just use a 3/4" t-line, since 1/2" ID tygon hose can fit over the 3/4" barb? (i would again have a small length of 3/4" ID hose from one side of the t-line to the pump)
i'm not completely sure that this would help with the restricted input or not, but any feedback would be appreciated.
edit: "fill tube" and "(1/2")" should be above the ^, but i think you can decifer
