Thanks for the information.
do you use this sump? I am interested to see it with the moving bed in place!
This seems like a great idea, but why don't we see it get used any where else? what is wrong with this setup?
Did you ever end up using this filter? Do you have some footage of it running? It would be cool to see an updated version of this if you are looking for new projects.
what would i need and how would i set it all up and dimensions id need for doing this in a ten gallon empty tank
First time I see it run backwards. I've usually seen it where the water first comes into the wet/dry then the other compartments. I wonder if it makes a difference; I like this setup better. I allows for more volume in the sump.
I think this setup will also act like a water tower and cool the water as it falls, I wonder, if used in a Reef aquarium sump, if this drip type setup could eliminate the need for a chillier? interesting.
I'm on to this guy now after seeing some of his videos. It's frickin Macgyver.
What is a filter sock? I may have heard wrong but I thought you said you didn't leave enough space to install a filter sock.
Do bio balls ever expire/stop working?
