Hi Kevo
Sump looks good, I wanted to do something like that to my D&D 24 Cube, but having already bought the tank, I didnt want to risk having it drilled by a third party.

Let us know how you get on.

[kevo66]

Cheers mate, will update as and when ;)

"Surface skimmer" arrived today from the states, not sure how much use it will be though lol!!

Just wondering how you found the surface skimmer. I've been thinking about getting something like this for my Chromis.

[kevo66]

Hi Bradden, still not set up im afraid, will be by the end of the month though so will be able to help you more then ;)

[kevo66]

Modded PH to tank return. I had read that the standard 45deg elbow reduced the flow significantly so I lost the elbow and just got some tubing that fitted into the pre-moulded attachment that the elbow attached to http://www.tropicalfish.site5.com/ubb/smilies/cwm1.gif

Said return pipe pushed through and attached to a Hydor Flo (which also wouldnt fit the pre moulded pipe)!
