What is an "overflow" ?
Ok, I'm only joking. I am planning out my new tank in my new house and just can't seem to plan things out even though i am typically pretty good at this stuff.
So basically I have a 600 gallon display tank, two 100 gallon fuges, a skimmer chamber (an acrylic box that houses my internal skimmer), and two 2x4 frag tanks.
Obviously, the frag tanks will be on benches, i would like my skimmer on the bench as well.
I have a reeflo hammerhead to power everything.
The other thing is that the tank is on one side of the room and everything else is on the other side.
The hammerhead will feed the skimmer tank and both frag tanks and various reactors and what not.
My thought is that the DT would drain into a filter sock and first fuge. The skimmer and frag tanks will empty into the other fuge which will he connected to the hammerhead.
My question is.. how should i connect all the fuges? A 3" pipe through uniseals? I am worried that the head required to force water from the DT fuge to the frag fuges would be too much?
I would like one of the fuges to be a low flow kind of deal but i also dont see how to make that happen... unless i feed it from the hammerhead and have it overflow into some other container?
Thoughts??
