Pipe size for dct8000

[rodasphoto]

I am about to install my Jebao DCT8000 (2113GPH) and noticed it was 1.5 inches out of the pump. I was wondering what size PVC you would use? I am going to build a manifold that will feed my skimmer, Carbon reactor, GFO reactor, and leave an empty port or two for something else.], then feed my 65 gal. display.

3/4 or 1 inch pipe is most you will need, just use a step down at the pump. I run 1inch pipe off my Mag12 feeding a 120g.

if it were me, and I had enough space, i would build the manifold in 1.5" and simply step down as needed for each outlet. no reason not to, and it might reduce some turbulence and increase efficiency slightly.
