I'm considering running a closed loop on an undrilled, CO2 injected 120g freshwater tank (basic PVC) so that I can put canister filters in an external utility closet. There's about 30 feet distance to the closet. This would get the filters entirely out of the house and make them much easier to service.
The canister filters won't have the power to push much water that far. I have a big Jebao pump that I can plumb inline with some 1.5" PVC that will basically serve as a sealed water access point for the canisters. I will need to use some barbed fittings to connect the canisters to the PVC.
My thoughts are that this will work as long as I have the canister suction side on the upstream side of the closet loop.
Has anyone done anything else like this, to get remote filtration without having to use a hob overflow or drill?
As a side note, the reason I don't want an HOB overflow is mainly because of the CO2 injection. Ive tried that before and it definitely offgassed the CO2 despite my efforts to seal everything off.
