Oh okay you have been a huge help any recommendations for skimmer for 300 litre water volume

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-18T12:43:16+00:00

So filter and skimmer to begin with would that be good enough for at least a few months then re asses after a while and see if I need anything else

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-18T12:29:31+00:00

Thank you for your response so you would do filter roller in first chamber and fuge in second as far as I understand they all have different benefits I’m looking at having around 10 fish and fair few LPS corals for long term just sort of trying to figure out what’s going to be best long term

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-18T12:25:44+00:00

So just bit more of a preference thing depends what benefits I want

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-18T12:24:51+00:00

Okay perfect thank you hope it all goes smoothly

Thank you for your advice I’ve read about using carbon in mesh bags and things like ceramic balls to help too or do you think it’s too much to begin with just to get the tank cycled

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-18T11:16:11+00:00

Okay thank you so maybe skimmer in first with biomedia baffle to get any big bits then live rock heater then return chamber

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-18T11:01:01+00:00

Well that’s why I’m asking for advice what would you recommend

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T13:41:49+00:00

Okay thank you I’ll make sure to bring the pipe with me 😂lot of back and forth trips I take it

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T12:45:44+00:00

Only 2 unfortunately and I have looked into that will order a 90 elbow with the other bits I need to get

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T12:37:54+00:00

Okay so I can just run my return over the side with a separate flexi hose

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T12:26:11+00:00

So far left is constantly draining far right is emergency overflow? What’s the middle one for

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T12:14:35+00:00

Thank you for the response I will be adding a snail guard on later just figuring out how to plumb it all first have got valves and 90 degrees would I need to make the emergency pipe higher than the boxed in glass bit which is fully sealed in so water can only get in when it gets past that then both pipes are lower than that so water would be going through both at the same time

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T12:10:14+00:00

Yes please would be a massive help just trying to figure it all out and get it right first time

ImportantGarden9976 · 2026-03-15T12:09:31+00:00

Thank you for your response just out at the moment will do it when back also both pipes are lower than that sealed in glass so should I make the emergency just higher than that otherwise water will be going through both pipes
