IDEA : Japanese Style Filtration...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
hmmm might try that possible denitrification
 
So do I.. wet/dry is an exception..I have a small 500litres/hour subsystem in my sump...but all my remaining biological media is submerged and in the flow of water...
 
other than water level what's the diff between them and wet/dry sumps?
 
The media used looks slightly different that typical wet/dry media. Looks to be a porous ceramic material.

wet-dry systems have to be more efficient since more oxygen will be available to the bacteria than in completly submerged systems. You would therefore need a smaller sump and a lower flow rate.
Am I missing something with the Japanese system?

Yeah i thought that was the whole idea behind dripping the water over the bio-media
 
do anaerobic bacteria break down nitrate better then aerobic?
