Default Pluming

I have a question about the quet one 3000 pump. Does this pump work well with presure? they are a little cheaper than the magdrives. and will it be good to power 3 nozzles for flow?
Im guessing each nozzle would be about 260 gph each sice the pump is 780gph.

and another thing, has anyone used flxible pvc pipes? Marine depot has been the only one that sells it so far. will it fit with reagular pvc fittings? thanks

In theory your pump plan is a good one but in the real world it needs some fine tuning.On the reef central home page there is a head loss calculater.check that out and make your pump choice accordingly.
