I am currently running an emperor 400 HOB one my main tank. I would like to put on the fuge to make the display tank look less cluttered with equipment. Will this ruin its effectiveness in any way? Common sense is telling me if its on the main tank it wont be removing solids from the tank. Maybe I am mistaken here though.
I am also contemplating adding a sump of some kind this weekend. It will have to be some kind of acrylic or plastic container that can only be 14 inches high due to the plumbing but can be as much as three feet wide and 3 feet long. If I do this should I move all of my filtration equipment to that. Problem is flow can only be 300 gph due to the overflow boxes limitation (I think, I am not really sure what my OFB is rated for, I do know that the drain pipe to the fuge is 1 inch PVC though) Display tank is 75 gallons.
