Vincent's Office tank

Finally got some time to work on the tank.

I’m noticing you’ve got a lot of 45° where possible rather than 90°. Will that reduce the head pressure or provide some benefit, I’m curious since I seem to always see people just using 90s.

edit: I wonder if someone makes a flow sensor that could verify that ;)

Yes, 45 reduce less flow than a 90.
 

as tested, makes no difference.
That compares 2 45 to 1 90. Not 1 45 vs 1 90. I’ve used 45s in as many places as I can versus using 90s and in some places 1 45 instead of 1 90.
Eg, on the upward leg on each side, I used 2 45 instead of 2 90s and an overall shorter length of pipe. Using the 45 to cut the corner in 2 dimensions.
