Hi,
I will be converting a 47" x 17" x 24" deep reef tank into a planted tank next month.
The tank has an overflow weir and I had intended to cut this out using a stanley blade but this would be a lot of work and someone has suggested that I leave it in situ, block off the drilled holes in the bottom and use it for the inflow for the two cannister filters I will install. What do you think?
I had intended to line the back and sides of the tank with cork tiles as background - again what do you think?
I also have a 10" x 6" cannister filter body I was using as a DIY calcium reactor which I will use as a CO2 diffuser. I have strapped an Eheim 1048 pump to the side as a recirculater and will add the CO2 on the pump outflow side. Would it be any advantage to add Bio balls , or hair curlers, to help break up the bubbles?
