R32GOTMLK Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 hi all im thinking of getting a breediing tank made my question is with the filtration here is a pic of what i have planed, will it work? the total volume is 100L the filter is a fluval 205 the tanks will be drilled and connected by pvc pipe and angles if it would work would i have to reduce the pvc pipe so its smaller than the fluval pipe which is 20mm i think this is looking from the back of the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You would be better off using a sump/pump than a filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I agree with smash. You will not be able to control the flow on each tank if you use pressure in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have a similar setup but cut the corner off each divider and stuck stainless fly screen on each side, have the filter intake at one end and outlet at the other so the water has to flow through each segment.
