Questions on new tank, new advice

Thochrun · 02/26/2014, 03:57 AM

I bought a mr aqua rimless tank and I am planning out the filtration. I got the tank for cheap and I know the hang on the back refugiums are not as good as a drilled tank with an overflow but my tank is not drilled. I looked into aqua c remora skimmer and hang on the back refugiums. First question is, is the aqua c remora enough filtration for a fowlr tank? Is the aqua c remora skimmer set up susceptible to floodin? And are any of the hang on the back skimmers not prone to flooding.?

The aqua c does have the capacity for your tank. They do tend to make a little more noise than other skimmers. Any external skimmer poses some risk of overflowing but you may be able to devise a means of capturing any overflow in a container.
