I dun think sump is good for planted tank at all leh.. at the amount of water surface moving, its gonna be a waste of co2.

kekeke.. it will be very fun to scape a 633!
anyway, in another forum, i saw this guy posted that his sump planted tank didn't loose alot co2.. just a little.. and increasing the BPS would do the job..

Filtration and circulation is very important in any tank. Having 2 filters will be better as the other one can serve as a temporary filter in case of breakdown.

You should go for a larger unit (eg. 2028) if you can as these will surve you better in the long run.

I'm using 2 X 2028 for my 422.

Its main purpose is to have evenly distributed CO2 and no deadspots. Since the flowrate reduced quite a lot as its being buffered by my scape, my tetra doesn't seem to be affected by it much. Only at the direct outlet do I see massive flowrate but some of my tetra seems to take it like a treadmill when they're bored.

Anyway, its better to have a tank over filtrated than under. Another advantage is that I don't wash the filters simultaneously so minimum lost of BB.

Thanks for all the advice. I checked and realised that 2026 & 2028 pump output difference is only 100l/h. So I will be getting two 2028 instead.

The filters I will be using are two eheim pro2 2026. 611's volume will just be about under 400 litres.

P.S. Thanks mod for shifting this thread.. sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
Using 2 straight outflows is still OK but gets tricky since the length you can control is much less.

Is there a specific reason why you are not running with rainbars?

An article I read at aquascaping world states that the reason why to date ADA has not designed a glass rainbar is because Takashi Amano has proven that rainbars do not push water around the tank as effectively as one single bigger outlet as water pressure is lost in the rainbar. Although the jets seem powerful from the rainbar, water flow is reduced compared to a single outlet due to the fact that no pressure is lost.

And my other reason is that personally, I dun like the look of rainbars in a tank.
