    Hi Angus,

    Could you possibly tell me the distance between the top of the tank and the top of the strainer on the intake? I have a tank with a relitavley low waterline so I need to know if the intake is going to be long enough to reach the water, but I am defiantly interested.
    I have tried to find out on the website but with no luck.

    Kind regards,

    Mark

    That was the same issue I had, and even modding it doesnt work. I will check when i get home from work tonight, but I would guess at about 6 inches

    5.5 inches it measures, but it needs to be under at least an inch

    Hi Angus,
    Thank you for the information but it is not long enough for my tank and I am sure extending it will douse problems.

    Thank's anyway.

    Regards,
    Mark

About The Nano Reef

You can ask questions, debate different techniques, chat to other members and generally join in the fun. We aim to be the centre of excellence and the ultimate resource for all things Nano/Pico.

Whilst we mainly cater for tanks with display volumes less than 55 gallons, you will be sure of a warm welcome if you have a bigger tank. Nano tanks are gaining in popularity, but not just because they are an entry into the hobby. Many experienced and successful reefers are turning to Nano tanks either as an addition to a larger tank, or more often, instead of. Nano tanks are easier to maintain and cheaper to run, but more importantly they provide a much more intimate experience and a personal relationship with the various inhabitants and symbiotic relationships that exist in reef environments.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ for loads of useful information. You will have to register before you can post.
