Hi folks,
As many may be aware I am in the midst of a tank upgrade and building my own weir. The question I need answered is... is it possible to calculate the height increase of the water in the display when the return pump is running as opposed to when it is off.
Failing that is there a set amount of space to leave. The tank is 18" high ( footprint 48"x15") with bracing bars at approx 17" from the base. There is 10" of linear overflow, 3/4" bulkhead (in the base of the tank) and my return is rated at 338GPH at 5.36' of head which is what the calculator over on RC came up with. RC calculator recommends 0.76" bulkhead with 6" linear overflow so may have to tweak the pump down slightly.
I was thinking of having the overflow set at 16" from the base of the tank with the comb filling the 1" between the top of the overflow and the bracing bars?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Ben
