I am using something and i was wondering if it has been done before and what drawbacks that you guys might see.

I had an old whisper filter with replacable "bio bags" that I used in another life... I have now put it in my reeftank (minus any filter media) to give a little extra flow. The advantage i see is the the suction pipe w/screen is long and reaches back behind my LR drawing water from a previously somewhat dead area.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

i dont see any problem with doing that. i have an old emperor 400 that i use for water movement. i took out the filter pads and the bio wheels, and everyhting seems to be doing fine. actually, doing so greatly reduced my green algae problem that i was having, and improved the clarity of the water. go figure...:roll:

thx ricky.

But fyi. I don't appreciate you posting my IP number. I understand that the board admins need access to it, but I get 4 or 5 hack attempts a day, and it doesn't help to have you broadcasting ppls IPs.

If you do not cease, I can assure you of at least one new member who will not be back.
