In my aquatop recife eco 24g, I want to raise the display tank water level without having to raise the level in the entire rear sump. My upgraded skimmer is in the stock media chamber, so basically I want to be able to control the dt/chamber 1(filter)/chamber 2(empty) water level independent from the chamber 3(skimmer)/4(return) level.
The options from my perspective are 1) block part of the dt overflow slots with a magnet or something similar 2) raise the wall that separates the stock skimmer chamber and media chamber or 3) use a surface skimmer (functionally the same as option 1, but would mean I need to turn off my protein skimmer whenever I remove/clean the surface skimmer).
I am thinking I would prefer option 2, but ideally want to avoid using glue so I can modify/tweak/remove. I was thinking maybe some sort of clip with the right dimensions could work great, but not exactly sure if that exists..
thoughts/suggestions appreciated!
