Hi all i'm after a bit of guidance while setting my new tank up. I'm fairly new to all this but have had a nano for nearly a year.
i think i know what im gonna do with my sump regarding chemical, biological and mechanical filtration and i have bought a skimmer.
I plan on building a durso standpipe and have been told that it should be 1 1/4 inch reduced down to inch through the bulkhead (drain) and the return being inch as well.
Just wondering a) if this sounds right and (b) what sort of return pump i should be getting.
I have no idea what sort of flow/ powerheads i should be looking at getting either.
The hood i will make myself and will prob use LEDs and a 150w halide, i only intend keeping some soffties and a nem.
Any advice is much appreciated
Jim
