The 3" to the input is no problem. The bottom drain and skimmer are
plumbed for 3". It's the output I have concern for. I want as much flow
as possible to the falls. Will I be able to do 3" from the Ultima? Thanks

I have a Sequence 7200 and Aqua Ultima filter. The original guy who built
this used 1.5 inch, but when you do the math you actually get nearly twice
the water with 2" pipe. Been told the intake is the most important place


to

have the larger pipe. Sequence told me to use 3" if I could for even more
flow.

I would agree. Never restrict the input to your pump.
