Has anyone tried this? Using Google to look for info has brought up little to nothing. I like to build things, hence my career choice of machinist. Its also part of why I like reef tanks, lots oh fun gadgets. Also trying to keep my budget for my 450 gallon build moderate so my wife doesn't kill me
I started looking into this due to two factors:
1. I picked up a ETSS 1400XR for $80
2. I have a Reeflo Dart Gold with a Orca impeller setting here
So what I was thinking of doing is:
1. Shorten the down draft tubes and remove the bio-balls.
2. Turn into a recirculating, buy turning the original output into the input for the pump.
3. Add a 3/4"uniseal too the skimmer body for in feed and another 1" bulkhead to the skimmer box for return.
4. Add a slanted piece of acrylic in front of the pump input and aquarium return to create a bit of a bubble trap
So onto the questions:
Has anyone else tried this or something similar?
Anyone have any ideas or input?
