Fish's new cube

[Skimmer Juice]

how did you hook up your canister filter to the bottom of your tank?

Stinky,
Hi. I connected the cannister filter to the bottom of the tank like this:
holes drilled with bulkheads - bulkheads fitted with hosebarb fittings - filter lines slid onto hosebarbs. Easy peasy.
Cheers,

how do you control it from overflowing or draining ,does it just equal its self out?

Crabs,
It is a sealed cannister filter, not a sump. The intake and return lines are both plumbed to the bottom of the tank so there is no other water in the system to overflow anything and nowhere else for the water to go, so no worries about draining either. It is baisically a closed loop... with a chaeto fuge ( : Hope this makes sense.

Amazing. Your cubes are works of art Chad............excellent photographs and video's
Would be great if you had the time to do a little schematic showing hook up ,type of filter ,impeller mod etc.,Or do I recall you showing this on a previous thread ?
I actually quite like the hockey puck look,very minimalist does not distract the eye from the tank.
Keep up the innovations just gets better and better
