I'm looking to make a quarantine tank out of one of my 36"x12"x12" acrylic tanks
This one has a 1" drain with two 3/4"returns on top. I dont want to use a sump and the sponge filter with air pump I got is too loud.
I was looking at canister filters where I could just run a sponge in the canister and run a line from drain to return, but it got me thinking.
Can I use a MJ1200 pump and TLF150 reactor the same way?
I dont know a ton about canister filters, but dont they just have a pump and separate sections for media where the pump pulls the water from the drain (Submerged) and then out into the return?
Can the Cobalt MJ1200 be used in line (out of the water) with 1/2 tubing? I was thinking of going from drain to mj12oo to reactor to return. I'd put a reducer hose barb on the drain and run 1/2 tubing the whole way, maybe something to lessen the flow on the return?
Would this work for a quick and dirty (and cheap) quarantine? I would just use the sponges provided in the TLF150 for filtration, or fill it with filter floss or similar media
