A fellow member has a tank similar to mine and wanted to see what I had for filtration. So I thought this would be a cool idea to see the filtration set ups out there. Please list tank size and give a detailed overview of your filtration. This is a pic thread so we're looking to see pics.....especially if you have a wet/dry and sump, or even drip system. However, if you use cannisters and don't want to take pics be sure to list anyways (we all know what cannisters look like but pics are always cool).
This the current set up for my 750 gal:Yes I know my plumbing could be cleaner and it will when I add some other components listed later.
(2) 1.25" ID drain lines feed a massive wet/dry that holds 6,000 1.5" bio balls. (I know, because I put them all in there)
Water is then pulled from the wet/dry's sump via (2) Little Giant pumps through .75" ID tubing into (3) tallboy Lifegard Cannisters. 2 of which hold (2) 250w Jager heaters each. (total of 4 heaters). The 3rd cannister holds carbon and has a pressure gauge mounted up top. From the cannisters, water is returned through the bottom of the tank, up through the tower and out some side piping from the tower.
My future plans for this set up is to:
-Add in an Aqua 80w UV sterilizer (which I already have and pictured)
-Add a high volume air pump system.
-Fill the tower with bio balls.
-Also planning on putting in valves in each of the wet/dry intake lines.
Doing this so I can make water back up into the tower and create less of the "waterfall" sound as it's currently dropping a good 3.5'. Also for ease of maintenance on the wet dry.
****Note***Not filter related, but look at the flooring under my stand. It's thick fiberboard wrapped in some heavy gauge rubber that I found at Home depot. It's supposed to go under shower stalls to prevent water damage. It works awesome when you're messing around with the wet/dry or plumbing and get some water spillage. Easy clean up and won't soak into the wood or carpet. It's made by "Oatey" if any one's interested in looking into buying some.
