Im currently upgrading my tank from a 75g to a 90g.
The new 90 gallon has a built in center overflow area that has enough space to put a good amount of live rock. I have read that the main concern is crap flowing to the bottom of the rocks and becoming a nitrate factory.
I have a magnum 350 filter (currently has live rock in the cartridge and the plastic is a very dark brown so light cant penetrate). I am thinking of using this filter to help circulate the water back there. Do you guys think it will work? Check picture..
I am currently designing my sump (29g 30x12x19). So having more area in the tank to place rock will give me more room in the sump to place a sandbed and some macro algae.
Do you guys think it will work? Or should i buy longer tubing so the filter can suck up more stuff from the bottom of the over flow?
The drain for the sump (pvc with a hole on the side) goes up to about 20". So anything going to the sump will be from the top of the overflow chamber.
thanks
