etity bitty tank build

[1901]

With the help of Doug (MOTOFISH) we came up on a design that I think is solid.

The tank is for my desk so keep that in mind.

Dimensions are 24L x 15W x 13H ----1/2" acrylic ---ALL IN ONE

The back wall (overflow) will be 3" out ( the pump is 2" wide)

In the right corner you will see a compartment for a mp10.

Im trying to maximize space in the display area while keeping the clean look.

Feel free to make any comments to make it better

Thanks

If someone know how to upload the pic so you dont have to open them that would be helpful

Only thing I don't like about the back chamber design is there is no overflow so you wont have any surface skimming. Not sure I get why the hole for the pump output in in the center chamber, how will water flow from chamber 2 to chamber 3? How many gallons?

The overflow is on the right side

its about 14g in the display area. The pump will be located in the last chamber (3) on the right with a tube connecting to the hole in the middle.

What are you planning for each chamber? What type of filter media, etc.?

Is the pump return in chamber 2 so that your return flow is in the center of the tank?

dak,

yes

media is rubble rock, and carbon

The overflow is on the right side

10/4 but looks like the water will not splii over an edge and drops ono overflow, water just passes under the divider so no surface skimming.

there will be another baffle inches from the chamber on the left for skimming sorry Its not pictured
