Hi Melbourne,

Your setups looks fantastic. I am curious though how you run two tanks off a single filter? How do you balance the output, etc, to stop one tank being pumped full of the water from the other tank? (eg hose blockage to one tank, etc)

Also, have you used the Eheim 2224 on such a small tank before? I have a 12inch cube and a 9inch cube, and wanted to put a canister filter on it (to get the filters and heaters out of the tank) but was told the flow would be way too strong. I'm interested to hear your experience. I assume you use an inline tap to reduce the flow to what is required, but does that have any negative impact on the filter/pump itself?

regards,
Mike
