so im thinking about doing this on my nano 12 just to get a fill for a fuge
im going to have it set up so the 3/4 in pipe will be skiming the level of tank water and free fall 2 the 10 then id like to pump it back out with 1in and put a rotating head on it do you think this will work?


ill take any feed back

[patrick1234]

bump to will it work? i guss so since know one is saying stupid idea

[e_baer]

I think the pipes may be a little large on a 12g.

[patrick1234]

ok maby a 1/2 and 3/4 is i true to make the tube coming down biger or the one going back up

[e_baer]

what will you do if the power goes out? there will be a continuour siphon, then eventually the siphon will break. then when the power goes back on, water will go into the main tank and there wont be a siphon anymore

[patrick1234]

i was going to set it so the top tank will just free flow in to the 10 and so if the power dose go out it will drop down pass the tube and once it comes back on the pumps will fill the tank back up so it starts free falling once more

[patrick1234]

ok so i guss i need to go over some stuff....
1. will the free fall of water be able to make it up and over the glass to the live sand and up and over to what i was thinking some bio ball's drop down the holes to the pump?
2. do i need 3/4 going to the fuge and 1/2in pluming coming back to the tank?
3.what size pump will i need for the return?
