Ok I just bought a 29 gallon tank and had 4 pieces of glass cut to 15 inches. I need a 3 chamber sump with refuge in the center. I placed the first piece of glass about three inches off the bottom. Then placed second piece on the bottom so it's 15 inches off the bottom. Then the third piece is on the bottom and 15 inches tall. The fourth and last piece is three inches off of the bottom.
Ok so now the good stuff. Did I mess up. I see most skimmers run in 8 inches of water. If I place mine on the bottom of the tank it will be in 15 inches of water. Easy fix right. Wrong. I can't raise the skimmer up to high because I only have about 25 inches of Clarence to bottom of the tank. You say cut down the inner two pieces to lower the water level. Well, then I have less time for evaporation. Them my tank fills with micro bubbles. Add a top off right. I'm limited on space outside the tank. O and the baffles are glued in already and I would rather not start over. Maybe I have to. Someone please help me out.
