Central weir with pumps

[kevlo84]

Hi guys I have an alcove in my kitchen that I want to fill with a tank.

my question is… are there pumps that can be put in the central weir so there is nothing on the outside of the tank walls? The space is only 98cm wide so ideally I want my tank to literally touch the sides with no space for magnets or external pump drivers?

Any help is much appreciated

thanks
Kev

You could use most of the magnet mounted pumps and just have the magnet inside the overflow box. Would be the easiest solution for sure. Depending on the model you may need to invest in waterproof magnets.

Depending on your desire to DIY you could go the drilling route and create a closed loop as well.
