Re: [GSAS-Member] UGF and substrate
yes, my idea (not really my idea) was to use a ocean clear canister filter
hooked up a high flow pump I got for a deal off of Reefrontiers with an
inline heater. Although I am really happy with the Hydor inline heaters, I
might use the Lifegard modules too b/c of the fact that the inlets/outlets
do of the Hydors are smaller than the 3/4 inch pipe I am thinking to plumb
with. This way lots of flow. That you have four holes is probably ideal, I
was only going to do two holes as it will be a glass tank which makes me
nervous drilled. If I were you I would definitely consider the closed loop
filtration, you could hook it up to a powerful canister as well if you didnt
want to use a pump. I am really excited about the idea of no
cables/spraybars in the tank. One guy I talked to with a similar system,
but a reducer that he could hook his CO2 into before the filter and the
filter broke up the co2 great without needing a reactor or diffuser.
sounds good to me
