Sorry, just got back without the picture/diagram I just made. Cuz comp is POS. 906,000k to run this POS ms paint? sheesh! Whyever this sorry excuse for a diagram sucked up all that IDK. Couldn't save the ic because of memory or resources... some kinda :bs:

But yea, kinda sorta, maybe?

Thinking AC on Left end.
PH(Power head) on right end of the UGF, facing left. With airline of CO2 run into the air thingy on the PH.
 
Nice tank slappy!!!

I'm rof about all that water.

I know what you mean with running them into themselves.
I remember doing that to my 75.
It had something like a 300gph ph on each end running ugf. Plus the 350 magnum.
They were pretty much all aimed at the front center. It had a nice gental movement everywhere.

I was using the venturies the regular ol air induction way. And lad itty bitty bubbles all over the place. Some going up, some down, some just hanging out till they'd dissapear.
Its kind of neat how we can take 900gph of filtration and shut it down to next to nothing. : )

That is... On the back of the tank At the left end.

Thought I better say that, after re-reading it. Figured you didn't need any more confusion. ;)
 
Ok hahaha no problem. So all in all, you think i should get a ac 30 with a powerhead, (how many gph?) With co2 running through it, right underneath my AC?

What if i went with a hagen co2 system instead of the Bottle one, or should i just go for the bottle?
 
Now from what i unserstand, the powerhead helps reduce frustration from the ac and losing co2 right, cause thats the reason im getting the powerhead?

I can run co2 through air tubing into that powerhead you gave me correct?
That should be all the questions!
Thanks!!
 
Here ya go.
I survived the paint program this time. But now I couldn't use the "Lettering" for some reason?

Why don't you get one of each and see which one you prefer? Wont you still have the same filtration?
 
hahahah ok that setup looks great! AC on the left and PH on the right, Good way to even out the flow, or no "dead" zones. CO2 goes through the powerhead right?
