I noticed that the output of my Eheim 2228 cannister filter is not adequate to power the AM1000 CO2 reactor. I am thinking of using an Eheim 1060 that is sitting idle in the store.
Questions:
1. The Eheim 1060 is rated at about 600 gph. Wouldn't that be too strong for the AM1000? If it is too strong, how do I reduce the flow?
2. The Eheim 1060 is designed to be used in a sump. Can I just get a 1.5' tank and use that as a sump?
3. Do I need to siphon water from the tank into the sump (where the Eheim 1060 sits in) or would it be better to feed the sump with water from the output of the Eheim 2228 ?
Appreciate all comments. Thank you.
