4 Advice to Choose a air filling weir for Thailand

Since you are going bare floor, vertical uptakes should work well for you if they are placed in the right spot.

I wouldn't consider a tank without poop sucker pipes. Big tank has is not done yet, but the poop suckers will be the only "decoration" in the tank when it is set up. (Yep, I had 11 holes put on the top of the tank during fabrication)




Very big fan of vertical uptakes. The sump tank on the big system will have a vertical uptake also.

The poop is going to go some where - to your sump or your Fluval. I prefer not stirring things up so the poop and debris have to make it to the top of the tank and into the weir. We have vertical uptakes just off the floor of the tank "poop suckers" They work really well, and there has never been anything on the floor to vacuum. We noticed that the debris tends to eddy in the tank and settle in certain places. That's where the poop suckers were placed. It works really well for us. While we have a separate mechanical filtration using RTL-25 filters via a Reeflo Hammerhead pump, other members on MFK have extended their uptakes of the canister filters to just off the floor and had the same results. I have a real aversion to drilling the back and sides of my tank, so all the holes are drilled on the top. The beauty of our system is that we use it exclusively for our water changes. There is a pipe running under the house to the back patio. Just opening a valve will drain the tank dry. (I accidentally did that once). We also have a 55 gallon tank on a high shelf in the equipment room with a water line to the utility sink. (the uptake of this holding tank is also a vertical pipe just off the floor) We open the valve, and the water is quickly pumped into the main tank. easy peesy.Since you are going bare floor, vertical uptakes should work well for you if they are placed in the right spot.Old pic of one of our poop suckersback of the tankI wouldn't consider a tank without poop sucker pipes.

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near, as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air (note 1)

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
