220 Inwall - Plan

[JC Pollman]

2. Run some tubing from the outside of the house to feed your skimmer - CO2 issues again.
- please explain? what do you mean here? sounds like one i know i havent heard of yet.

The idea is: if you have a high CO2 level in the basement (most new homes will) you want to use air with "nomal" levels in your skimmer - hence the need to get the air from outside.


A couple of additional thoughts:
1. You ought to plan on a refrigerator in the fish room, (if you do not have one downstairs) as it is more convenient to store the frozen fish food, DTs, garlic, etc, and your significant other will not accidentally throw them out.
2. I would suggest putting your refugium higher than your tank: you pump the water up to it and let gravity feed it back to the tank. That way your little critters do not go through a whirling impeller to get to the tank.
