Unfortunately I cannot lower it into the tank any more than it is, And from what I can gather if it was possible to do this then it would just pull more water through it and lower the tank level until it was at the same height, the return pump is not a submersible, it is an external pump, I have...

Hi, Unsure what you are referring to by overflow, if you mean the sump, the dimensions are aprox 600mm x 400mm x 410mm, the sump is baffled and there is plenty of water in the last baffle from which the pump returns water back to the tank. If you are talking about the weir, it is a home made...

lighting logan, i appreciate the advice you gave me on the lighting, i need your advice on a couple of questions that this has since raised. Firstly and most importantly is my anenome, i came home from work today and found him looking better, but he was actually upside down under a rock, i...

lights kell just scratches his head and looks confused, to much white man magic for him.

new tank I totally agree with what Cunch said, this is not a hobby you can just jump into and expect everything to run smoothly. It has a lot of factors that affect both how your fish live and how your tank runs. Do what i did, and that was to spend at least two weeks reading all the questions...
