Pipe Size

Is it better to over size your pipe or undersize your pipe? Here is my predicament. I am slowly working on my plan for my pond now, but I can expect I will have it dug before I am ready to buy the pumps and other gear. I plan to shop around a bit. So I want to run the pipes for the skimmer and the bottom drain, etc., but if I have not decided on a pump yet, I figured this would be a problem. Should I just run twin 2 inch PVC pipes and use both if I need the 4 inches of bandwidth, and cap one if I don't? -- BenignVanilla tibetanbeefgarden.com x-no-archive: yes Remove MY SPLEEN to email me. 1st, 2"+2" doesnt = 4" a 2.25" or 2.5" would be fine. in pipe sizing the next step up is close to double the cap. i.e. a 1.5" pipe is 1/2 the cap. of a 2" doubters: take a 12" piece of ea. (capped at 1 end and fill the smaller w/ water, then pour it into the next size. surprising huh? -- http://www.kencofish.com Ken Arnold, 401-781-9642 Importer/Exporter of Goldfish,Koi,rare Predators Shipping to legal states/countries only!
