need help with design canister/refug

[mike31154]

Personally I wouldn't cut up a functional canister filter for what you're trying to do. It could be put to better use to run carbon, gfo or some other media. You can even run it without any media simply for a little more flow.

It is still going to run carbon and purigen, I just want to have a 10g under it where I can grow a ton of macro algae and to add water volume to the edge,
