id be inclined to leave the skimmers as i think its a great addition, Gary Nelson 'pimped' his latest corner tank to include a skimmer and it keeps the surface spotless.
Also is the cabinet illuminated as standard or have you added the lighting? 8)
Look forward to watching this one progress.
Cheerio,
Ady.
i did indeed, for the price you cant really go wrong. in my other tank i never had issues with flow, so id imagine with two i should be ok. either way if i have problems in the future i can still upgrade.MikeG747 said:Did you get the tank and filters from All Pond Solutions? The tank looks the same as my 4 foot one from there. If you got the filter that came with the tank and a second one then I would be wary. I was running the tank initially with an Eheim 350 external and the supplied All Pond Solutions model. Quickly found that the cheaper filter was useless so I changed it for another eheim. Love the tank though.
yeah the plastic connections leave a lot to be desired. what do yo mean 'the uplift?' im assuming thats the telescopic part on the intakes?Derek Tweedie said:I have the 2000lph model. I found that the uplift was quite loud and wasn't a fan of the surface skimmer, what I did removed it and shoved the uplift into the hose which eliminated the noise. I think they are good filters but the plastic connections are quite cheap think that was causing the noise.
