Currently building the bar base for a 210g (72”xL;29”xH;24”D) aquarium. The tank will only be about 6” or so off the ground as it’s being built into a basement bar. I have an FX6 I can use for filtration as well as a large HoB filter pretty much just used for water polishing. But my question is whether or not being on the same level as the tank itself will negatively effect the capability of the FX6 or not, and if someone has better ideas for a filter or unique ways to plumb the FX6 in this situation.
there will be about a 6” space worth of overhang from the bar top coming over the back of the tank; this overhang will be used to keep equipment contained and covered on the back of the aquarium. I will need to buy additional hoses at least to cover the span of the back of the tank since at best, the canister will be off to the side and have to stretch from one end to the other. I don’t see a ton of tanks built low to the ground like this, so I can’t seem to find much on filtration ideas.
