Best way to place the Power pump?

[hotsoup]

Hi,

It seems that the debris inside my main tank are having problem flowing out into the overflow compartment casing the water not to be crystal clear. Seeking your advise on how to do so..the postioning of the power pump? I'm using eheim 1262 as return pump for my 3ft X 2.5ft X 2ft tank

thanks

yo bro, any difference from 1260 to 1262?

debris...meaning you find those stuff settling on your sand that you want to get rid off ah

Hi,

So far so good , they're floating inside the main, refuse to move into the overflow

hehe...i wanted to rush off to have dinner with my gf who was slogging at work somewhere near your place that night....in the end after left your place, then realise she called Mac Delivery liao..so i went back home...

hehe..ok..next time if i am welcomed, i call u when i am near your area see if convenient for me to come up see see look look....

by the way, not expert hor...u will make alot of real masters here angry if you confer that expert word on me....LOL....

i think if you are just using the 1262 to as the main circulatory pump in the system....whether drawing from your sump or drawing from your main tank and outlet through duckbills or scwd or normal pvc circular pipes, the area of turbulence is very localised and debris from fish waste and rocks tend to just sink to your sandbed....

but if you use those high volume, wide flow stuff like sea swirls or tunze streams, chances are the falling debris from fish or rocks will be kept in suspension in your tankwater for a much longer time and thus will tend to be removed by your overflow system much better...

or you can get some sand shifters that are known to move sand around to hide the debris...hehehe..

The problem is they're floating and not sinking to the sandbed, making the water looked so ...hmmm not clear

but if they are floating, then your overflow by right should draw them in slowly leh...hmm...

never mind...maybe you can post a pic of your tank at different angles especially the overflow and bros here can advise
