currently in my home there’s two fully stocked tanks running with canisters and seemingly no ill effect, one has lily pipes with surface skimmer that do a great job (other tank however) standard pipes no surface skimming
idea i had was to use an overflow box that has a backing (similar to the ones made for aqua clear HOB filters) using some strong magnets to hold it up in place
b u t
also drill 1-2 holes through the bottom to put the return line/s with a spin stream nozzle
thoughts?
i know there’s plug in surface skimmers
but the less wires the better

(can draw out a simple diagram if needed)
