Morning guys,
I have sketched a rough diagram of the tank (Attached in word document) I'd like to use for marine as the last one burst. I was just wondering if the flow will work as shown in the diagram as I don't want to take the risk again of drilling the tank and then also avoid the cost and effort involved.
Basically, there will be two pumps involved: one taking the water from the tank after going through the side filter overflow and the other taking the water from the sump back to the tank (They will obviously be of the same liters per hour in size).
The tank is unfortuantely only 5mm glass but the water level will sit at 450mm although the glass's total height is 600mm. The length is 1500mm and the width is also 450mm. There is a strut brace at the top keeping the glass together just above the water level, so it should keep the tank in tact (I mention this as I don't want this tank to burst as well).
Please have a look, your opinions will help me decide if i will use the tank or not.
Thanks guys.
