ok, i want a mag drive 18, and at 5 feet of head, it is rated at 1200 gal/hr. is this too much?? i was thinking about using a 10 gal for the
sump, but i fit the new 45 gal rubbermaid in with the 10 gal, and it was too tight of a fit to have equipment too. so i will make the
fuge a
fuge/sump combo.
here is a pic of the new tank:
and a pic of the new 45 gal
sump/fuge. this guy was a whopping 13 bucks at walmart. it was warping horribly when full of water, so i edited the top so that i could leave it on, and i added a ratchet around the middle where it was trying to pop the top off. don't worry, that water isn't a spill, i just forgot to turn the hose off in time
so anyways, this baby will take up about 80% of my under stand space, unless i build somthing on top of it. anyways, the
sump:
any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated. i was a moderator at aquabotanic.com a freshwater plant forum until it closed. so i know my way around a forum. expect to see a very complete list of parts and pics of this setup
