Check out what I did in 4 hours...

I decided the filtration was not enough on my 300 and I was not satisfied at all. I just got one of my big pumps in yesterday and decided to put it to use until my big tank needs it. Took me 4 actual hours to build the filter and I think it is pretty sweet. It is an absolute beast at moving water with that pump. It filled the 50 gallon trash can in about 12 sec before I toned it down and put drains to the tank. lol

I spent $250 on the pump, $80 on everything for filtration including trash can, and $150 on plumbing pipes.

so for about $500 I have a filter that can filter anything I throw at it. I already love it. It is not running at the moment because Im gonna let everything dry for a few days before I actually run it.

Thanks guys, yea with that pump it would be possible. lol It is such a beast, thats why I had to split it.

Its a tornado t10000. I have two of them for the big tanks plumbing. Got it on sale cause it was used for a few months, but works great.

Thanks. It definitely was, not to mention the hour and a half at lowes trying to figure out what all i needed. I had everything on the floor in kind of a diagram for me to understand it better. People were looking at me funny. lol
