    Thanks Reafer,

    1 question - what tipe of power head did you use. Is this like a pump that you use in a pond like thing?

    I bought a pond pump that you put in a pond all it does is suck up the water and then put it back in the pond no filter nothing. Will it work?

    If its not to powerfull , u looking for something around 1500L/h, it will work well. Just make sure there is something over the inlet to stop fish getting sucked up
