I got kind of a crappy paintshop look at the modification idea

looks pretty sound to me................couple questions.

1. will the water be moving through the filter to fast to do any good?
2. will the water moving so fat cause a sand storm right into the pump area and right back into the tank??

LMAO - - -i especially like the skimate going up the skimmer tube, nice touch, lol

my skimmer is starting to make a little skimate tonight.....sweet !!!

Boss

wait - -i guess you could put 2 90's on the bottom of the pipe feding the mangrove section {so it would be pointing up} and let the water "umbrella" into that area..........no???

boss you could build a small pvc manifold around the top of the tank with shut offs you could distribute the water where you need it and nothing will be in your tank..

the down pipe isn't going to be that deep it's going to kind of splash down into the fuge about two inches above the water. The return pump shoudn't get any sand in it because of the barrier being a couple inches taller than the sandbed. And there isn't going to be any filter just a above fuge aquaduct feeding water to the downpipe.
