Aquarium Advice Regular
Okay, so I've decided to go reef rather than fish only. I would like to put a wet/ dry filter/ sump/ protein skimmer below the tank. The problem is, I've only got a two inch clearance behind the tank. Just enough room for the Fluval (304) hoses to fit. I'd like to add an over flow to feed a sump but the room just isnt there. I'm not terrible excited about the prospect of draining and lugging the tank out a couple inches. My question is, Is there a way to supply the sump with water besides going with the overflow? Is it possible to siphon directly from the tank to the sump using a ball valve to control flow? I imagine that I could fabricate a half an overflow in the tank and have a sump large enough to handle the excess in case the return pump failed. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.l
Thanks in advance,
Calvin
