Hi All,
Having a couple of issues and seeking a bit of assistance.
Firstly, I don't know if it's an issue as such and I'm pretty sure I know how to remedy it.
My sump water appears to be a little stagnant and getting a bit of a film/bubble looking things on it. I've seen other threads on this and it appears the fix is to chuck in a powerhead which I have a spare and happy to do but just wanting to confirm this methodology hasn't changed ?
Secondly, I need assistance with working out how to find the right return pump.
This isn't for the tank itself, but for my water barrels, I need to stop having to wheel these 200L barrels around the house using a trolley, it's doing my head in and probably not doing my flooring or door frames any favours either.
I purchased a 30m reel of 16/22mm aquaone tube I think it was to use with the existing pumps I'd been using (some cheap Aquaone ones, maybe the 105 for memory) for water changes, but these don't have the strength to send it 15 meters (~50ft) to the tank. (Possibly less but this is a worst case). Hoping I can find something that would fit this tubing also so I haven't wasted $150.
I've found this article which if I'm reading correctly would need approx 7-9ft of head height in total (allowing for extra height if needed).. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
