returm pump in third chamber mods....

[Monkey55]

1. What are some options for the strongest pumps that I can fit in the third chamber of the Biocube 29? (stuff that won't be an eyesore)

2. Will a hydor flo slow down the GPH much of the pump?

3. Will raising the pump a little highter in the thrid chamber increase its flow?, or will increasing the size of the tube increase the flow?
(I can do these things if I want because I don't have bioballs, instead I have a skimmer, So my water levels in the thrird chamber are pretty much at the top of the measurement bar)

4. Has anyone ever put two pumps in the third chamber,
does this work? would you just then locline in another out put? (this in theory would be really sweet, because I could use a maxi jet 1200 with loclined dual output and also use the stock pump with the single stock output)

Thanx

Where did you place the skimmer? I just replaced my balls with LR, and was wndering if I could raise the water level as a result. Also- do you use the white pad/carbon filter in the 1st chamber?

I've wondered the same thing. I would like to use the space in hamber2 under the protein skimmer for something. IMO, a second pump in chamber3 would cause excessive vibration/noise. I probably will go with a tunze nano to increase flow.
