New! Big Tank Club!
Hey guys, when my skimmer is on in my skilter my entire tank gets overrun with tiny bubbles that makes it hard to concentrate on the actual stuff in the aquarium even more... I dont really like it. I was in the DIY section trying to find some plans on how to make a wet/dry system or whatever its even called, but Nothing really, a few pictures and discussion, but I dont even understand the basic concept of it really, well I do, but not the more advanced parts... I know you take water from the tank, have it go in 1 side of a tank below yours and filter through everything down there, at the pet store ive seen his with lots of live plants and algae in the bottom, skimmer down there, can you put the heater below in the water down there too im assuming? That would make my tank so much cleaner looking, and I could stack my rock a little better with out avoiding 3 spots on the back wall... Also would it fix all these tiny bubbles? I am a hands on person and really enjoy building things... Id prolly make it out of clear acrylic or something, because under my tank is an odd size to fit another thank i think... Its gotta be a max of 10" wide at the biggest point to fit between the supports in the middle and ends, and it can be quite long and pretty tall... I dont know how much room you need to leave for clearance on top, so ill give the max height, about 21 inches top to bottom between the doors. I think it would haev to be kind of shorter to angle it and work it in there, cause its a 4 foot long stand, but there is like a 6 inch support in the middle of it... Let me know what you guys think...
