shanebeall Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Awhile back I read a post with a formula for finding out how many gallons per hour will flow through a drilled hole with a specific diameter. Anyone have that formula? I looked for awhile and couldn't find it. Link to comment
SaltyDawg Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I dont know the formula but............take a gallon jug and count how many seconds it takes for it to fill, divide this number by 60 seconds then divide that number by 60 minutes. Seems that easy but it probably sint. Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I think ReefCentral has some calculators that should give you that info. On their main page, theres a "Calculators" sidebar down on the left a bit. Link to comment
shanebeall Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Your method would have probably worked Salty, however, I haven't drilled any holes yet, I was wondering what size I'd need to drill to get a certain GPH. They do have the calculators on RC though, and thanks for the quick replies to both of you! Link to comment
The_Barbe-Hatten_Project Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 bigger is better? it's better to over size the whole than for it to be too small... Link to comment
