    Hi Richard. Are you going to run these 2 together or just the 4x2x2 on its own, if on its own it sound ok if running them together you might have a overflow problem ie flooding.HTH. Eric

    Thanks Eric, yes running together the top tank will have a stand pipe in on the left and feed by a eheim 1260 so if i lose power the top tank shouldnt drain down, i hope, :)
