I just posted in the tank showcase my equipment and some pics but thought I would also post my concern here in the dedicated area.
So I have a Fluval G6, opened today and started reading the directions and see that the G6 needs to be at least 20" below the water line. My thought is to have the G6 pull the water out of the main and will run it through the prefilter carbon and bio material in the G6, the G6 output will go into the intake of my sump/refuge where I will also have my protein skimmer, the next area in the sump will be the refuge with algae live sand and live rock, then into the return area with a pump going back up into the main. Any thoughts on this. FYI the G6 is rated at 265 GPH.
I know someone is gonna say ditch the cansiter filter but its a gift and has to be used.
Second thing. I got a single power head with dual impellers rated at like 1300GPH, there is attachments to adjust the flow of each impeller but should I look at getting anotehr one to place on the other side of the tank?
Thanks guys.
