My tank is a 6' peninsula type of tank, with the overflow on one end. Everything is clear acrylic, and I have notices a small patch of aglae growing. This got me thinking about adding a fuge, and putting it in the overflow area. This area is 6 x 18 x 18, and has durso style pipes in it. The tank is also 4" from the wall (where the overflow is).
Knowing this is an unorthodox place to put a fuge, does anyone have any feedback for me? Will the flow be too fast? I can always put on in my sump, but would rather not if I can avoid it. I don't have enough room in the sump.
Also, what about light(s)? I need to be able to put something there that will fit, and also not be too hot next to the acrylic. Any suggestions?
