    Setting Up A Sump For A Freshwater Aquarium

    Well I now have the aquarium setup and running (more or less) I have also decided to install a webcam INSIDE the aquarium and will be streaming it to the Internet on my website.   Of course my cat thinks it is either an all you can eat sushi bar or a tv.

    Setting Up A Sump For A Freshwater Aquarium

    Setting Up A Sump For A Freshwater Aquarium

      Yes there will be bogwood in the tank once setup, the charcoal is activated carbon (charcoal is so much easier to type), any ideas about the spiral.   Really? would it be possible to ask them about the plastic spiral?     Many thanks both

    Setting Up A Sump For A Freshwater Aquarium

    All I know about the tank is that it was imported from China, I have no manufacturer, model, there are no labels anywhere on the tank or stand other than a 'checked by operative #' sticker that has a 6 digit number. I have a piping section to attach to the fitting in the cabinet that comes off...

    Setting Up A Sump For A Freshwater Aquarium

    The tank is home and oh boy, this is way more tank that I could have thought. It has a combined intake (overflow from the outer pipe)  and return set up, with what appears to be three tubes nested one inside the other, the inner most is the return that has a boom attachment to pass the returned...
