I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean a nano built into a wall? Or some kind of false wall in the nano? Forgive me if I'm slow tonight.

A section of tank that's portioned off for a fuge/sump. I think Aquapods have something like this,Anyone know where i can get some plans or something of it? I know that the intake flow would come from a baffle/surfe skimmer dk about the return,I small pump maybe?

No, not blind, hadn't updated in a bit and it was wayyyyyy down the posting line.
So updated with the hood pics today and back near the top again.
Now I have seen others that use the same basic function but they put the glass all across the back (go to a stain glass shop and pick up black glass for cheep. ;)

Welll.... The first attempt with the HOB I was just using the Emperor as normal but the draw was too varied. Also the cheato kept plugging up the impeller.
So I unplugged it and dropped in the little pump and everything is much better.
NOW if I were to start over again (not out of the question, wana buy a tank?) hmmm…. Where to start???
