I'm looking at buying a Bashsea media chamber for running carbon off a manifold sitting in the sump.
My current water level where it will go is about 10" (which is probably a little too high), but I'm trying to decide on the 4-12 which has a total height of 13" or the 4-18 which is 19" tall.
One seems too low and only an inch or two off the water line so it will be mostly submerged.
The other seems way too high and will stick out the top of the water line 8-9 inches. The larger one would also be a whole lot of chamber when I only need a small amount of carbon.
I'm leaning towards the smaller one because I think it would be easier to fill with carbon and then push the sponges down to pack it in. Would there be any downsides to having one so close to the waterline, other than just getting my hands wet when unscrewing the lid?
