Having a problem here. I would like to upgrade the filtration on my tank, but I dont have hardly any room under the tank. I was going with a eccosystems 60 HOB fuge, but found that the water evaped quick from the little space it has, but did like the preskimming that it provided. Right now Im using a bak pak, and a fluval, carbon only. Any suggestions on what can be done?

I have a 10 gallon sump under my 46 bowfront... it isn't much but better then nothing.

Check out this link, this is exactly how I designed my sump, and I have it setup almost exactly the same way with LS,LR and Cheato...

I have to top off with a gal/day of RO. If you tank isn't drilled get a HOB overflow box. I use a mag 7 for my return and have it hooked up to a scwd.
