There are several sources of Resveratrol that are present in blueberries, cranberries, peanuts and red grapes. But the levels found in those fruits and berries are awfully low. The level would be increased only if you make red wine from the grapes. In Spanish red wine there’s 12 mg per litre. You cannot drink two wine bottles every day. Anyhow, so to get correct amount of Resveratrol as a supplement from capsules or powder would be the best.

In my new aquarium setup, I have two Rio 20HF pump, will like to run two just in case one fails, the flow rate of this pump is 3,300 liter per hour @ 6ft high, with two pumps theoretically I will gain 6,600 liter per hour. Below is my tank specs:
1) Tank Volume with Sump Volume estimated to be 768 litre or 203 US gallon.
2) Two direct drain pipe from overflow to sump at 1 inch each, or 25mm bulkhead each.
3) Rio 20HF’s spec says the flow rate is 3300 litre / hr at the height of 180 cm or 6 ft high.
4) The x2 pumps’ return sump to display tank has a 72 inch high and water will travel through 95 inch of piping, four (4) ninety (90) degrees elbow for one pump and five (5) ninety (90) degrees elbow for the other similar pump, because return pump will be placed externally to reduce overflow space.
5) Preferred flow rate for whole tank volume is x7 to x8 times the total tank volume.
I’m having difficulty to know / estimate the actual flow rate from x2 Rio 20HF pumps after having gone through these elbows and extreme height level, in which I can’t ask my tank maker to drill overflow holes yet, not until I’ve gotten an answer. Below doubts are what hinders my current progress:
Now the question: knowing that for 1 inch pipe, every elbow almost adds 2 ft of pipe length, how much flow will be reduced from the current total 6600 litre per hour @ 6 ft high on the Rio 20HF, need to know this answer coz I need to plan how big the bulkhead to drill on the overflow.
Thanks!
