Hey guys, doing the fuge mod on my AC110 and im wondering if I should put the second left over sidewall inside to make a second chamber? I plan on stuffing some foam right along the inlet to catch all the bigger particles but then i wasnt fully sure. Should i make this a smaller compartment to house a heater or other various items or would this just reduce flow and cause too much back pressure? Pictures to follow

I had to look at my AC110 that I am currently not using. I didn't do my chamber all the way up, but part way up. I would usually stick floss in it. It basically is in teh same position just cut off above the square holes.

 

so +1 to adding it.

 

I will suggest making a sort of box around the intake pipe to create an overflow. I found it irksome tohave the AC110 grinding away as sand got into the impeller. I did such an overflow in my 2.5g pico and it worked quite well.

I decided against adding the second chamber, and just housed the heater in the tank. Figured I could place a bag of carbon by the intake along with a thick pad on the wall before the water goes into the chamber where I plan to grow the cheato. Flow seems great for far, will update when I add the cheato and actually have fish in the tank.
