    Bare in mind i'm using 1/2 tubing, can I use the ports on the bottom for inlet/outlet. Like;

    |_inlet__LED__outlet_|

    I'm thinking doing it like this is going to cause air-bubbles, and the pump sucking down the same water.

    Would I be better trying to find a way to use a side inlet, and bottom outlet?
    Or will this work alright?

    you could add a small pipe to the side where water streams into the rez... though if both are under water then there is no chance of airbubbles

    I have an 3/4" outlet in the bottom of my aquatube sucking water down to the pump inlet, and no bubbles. You'll be fine.

    Yeah, what I ment is, will it still act as an airtrap? :(

    Go with what works best for the tubing in your setup. Any combination will work, just takes a bit of work bleeding the bubbles out :thumb:

    That will work... how do I know, because i'm looking at one right now!

    1/2" tubing, |_inlet__LED__outlet_| (same as you described), D4 pump.

    No air bubbles, no problem... although you will have to bleed it properly first.
