Hi,
I'm setting up a new 60l tank. I live in shared rented accomodation so there are limits to where I can put a tank. I will be putting it on a currently unused area of kitchen worktop, but this leaves me with serious difficulties with getting an external filter in. I can't really see how I can put it below the tank without cutting a hole in the worktop, which in a rented house would be a big no-no! Can an external sit on the worktop next to the tank, or does it need the extra height to function properly? Also, are there any externals that are small/attractive enough to sit in full view next to the tank without compromising flow?
I currently have a Dennerle external nano filter which can be used at the same height as the aquarium, but I worry about whether this would give enough flow in the tank. I can't seem to find lph data on this filter.
Many thanks in anticipation!
