    Screen pipe size

    I have been looking at what has been written on scrubbers and would like to know if there is a difference with using a different size pipe to hold the screen
    looking at some scrubbers seems they use 20mm to house screen
    would there be any benefit in using a 25mm pipe (I have all the fittings to use 25mm but I can reduce down to 20mm if I have to)

    Not much difference really. Bigger is probably easier to cut the slot.

    I have always used the 20mm-3/4" but 25mm-1" should work fine too but you might need to increase the GPH a little over 35gph per inch maybe.
    150G. Reef/Mix
    125G. 3 Regular Oscars/1 Jack Dempsey
    75G. 20+ Africans
    40G. Fish/Reef. Algae Scrubbers on ALL my SW
