hI ALL,

HI ALL,

WELL DONE TO ALL OF YOU,THIS IS A GREAT SITE. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!


IM THE NEW GUY DAC, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 4FT BOW FRONT TANK.
I HAVE CONVERTED IT TO MARINE ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, ALLS WELL ACCEPT I NEED TO INSTALL AN OVERFLOW AND I NEED A SUMP BELOW MY TANK.


THE TANK I HAVE WAS DESIGNED FOR DISCUS AND THATS WHY I AM FACED WITH THIS PROBLEM ABOVE,

MY TANK IS DOING WELL WITH FISH AND COREL SO I WOULD HATE TO STRIP AND START ALL OVER.


PLEASE HELP,

ANY IDEAS;)
 
Welcome Dac! Another option is to have a sump above your tank. Ha ha. Then your tank is actually the sump ;) you can put a glass sheet inside the tank in one corner to act as skimming overflow. Then put a nice pump into that to feed the sump, and let the sump drain back into the tank. I almost have something like that. How about some pics?

Welcome Dac

Can you try not to type in CAPS, it is considered as shouting in forum etiquette, cool, thanks :)
 
welcome to MASA Dac!
 
I currently have a canister flowing out to a fluidised bed filter(Red Sea Product) which is housed in a tube and has silica inside. Also a Prizim hangon skimmer. A few power heads, lighting and and thats it.

Admin,
Sorry about the Caps was just lazy that part of the night.
Please forgive me !!!!!!????:razz:
