really like the water fall style trying to do some research and come up with a plan as i'm kinda limited as to where i can put it and how i can incorporate it into my current set-up.
biggest problem is i cannot figure out a way to get the bottom of whatever container i make or use higher than my sump.
don't think i can fit pole style in my sump with my skimmer and thats also the same chamber my return pump is in so i think thats a bad idea.
was thinking of making a 14x14x4" acrylic box with a 12x10 screen 1/2"pvc and a valve to control flow.
as far as feeding the waterfall i would need a pump rated 400-500 gph if i make the slot 12".
if u understand correctly the bottom of the screen needs tobe out of the water correct? that why i figured if i make the front and back of the box 14" high and the sides 13" with a
cutout for the pvc at the top that should leave about 2-3" below the screen
now is where my crazy kicks in...as far as getting the water back to my sump after its run down the screen can i put another pump rated 400-500 gph in the bottom to pump the water back. I'm assuming this pump would have less head since its not flowing through as much pvc and would be able to keep up?
was gonna go the cheap light route and try the home depot cheap reflectors n cfl bulbs i
saw someone else use already have one just need another so i can light both sides
