So I have a 60g Cube Cade 600 S2 Tank setup. Their sump leaves a lot to be desired and I'm trying to figure out a way to fix these issues. I used their Skimmer section as a Refugium and this has presented difficulties. Mainly because the water level that goes into the media baskets and then to the return chamber is over the wall, so the macroalgae has free reign to get into my return pump section and therefore clog up my return pump.
So my idea is to buy a comb weir to install at the wall of my media baskets to allow water to pass through but keep the macroalgae in place. Problem is, they are all acrylic and this is a glass sump. Also my sump is running. I had thought maybe to just use super glue to fasten it on, but after some research I'm finding thats not a good option.
I also need to add a piece to the sock chamber cutout because as soon as you put a fresh sock in, its almost overflowing instantly. So I need to raise the water level there where it won't overflow as soon as a sock is in place. Mesh socks too mind you, not even felt.
Is GE 1 Silcone my only option? I don't want to do this, as It means I have to drain my sump and let it cure for like 48 hours, which means no filtration on my tank for those 48 hours and it won't do great for my fuge either.
Help?
