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.

Default fish's new cube..............

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

That looks great. I really like that frogspawn, it fills the space very nicely. And look at the polyp extension on that acro.. wow.. in a nano that small especially.. nice to see.

Looks great.

Wood carver,
Thank you! I like your idea of doing up a schematic with all the stats. Unfortunately, I am not very well versed in any autocad or drawing programs. I'll see what I can whip up....

You're right, that frogspawn probably would even fit in my 2gal anymore - it was already touching two panes of glass before I made the switch ( :
