newaqua Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Taking Sump Water from the top of the tank. Hey all. Quick question as to taking the water from the top of the tank. I have 2 overflows, however, to make them quiet have 90 degree "elbows" that come from the hole in the wall of the glass, to just under the water level. So they are taking the water off the top 10-15mm level of the water. However, they are not actually taking it from the exact top of the water, as in the surface of the water. Is this an issue, with proteins etc in the water that may float? And hence may be around a while until they get taken in by these overflows??

hovmoller Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Don't think it's a problem.. but of course a nice clean surface is always good.. You would have to build a box around the pipes so water flows over and into the box before taken out = surface skimmed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
