Inlet/outlet on Signature

[Ben C]

Hello there,

I've just bought a 600 x 450 x 300 TMC Signature and will be using gUSH glass lilies on it.
I'm not concerned about flow rate, more flow direction and specifically the best positions for the inlet and outlet pipes.

I cannot get the pipework on the sides of the tank without cutting slots in the cabinet, which I don't want to do, so they are going to have to be rear-mounted. What is the best positioning for these?

I propose the below, whereby the outlet (and consequently the CO2 from the inline diffuser) washes over the wood, which will have moss, microsorum etc attached to it. The arrow shows the outlet with the direction of flow, while the circle represents the inlet.

Or is there a better set up entirely?

Thanks all,

Ben

you will find the glasswear will need to be attached to a flat surface meaning they must point straight so diagonal wont work. Really you need to run it on the side, front or back right side would likely be best...

I would suggest using elbow fittings to allow you to come out of the cabinet and around the side, if you know what I mean.
