under a bridge in fl
i cant take credit for the idea "seen on e bay long time ago" but like always i did some things.
at the moment this one failed so far :irked:
its a tight squeeze,not sure if i can get it all in or out with the wall siliconed in.
i planned to "pin" the plexi in with silicone.
thats a 66gph pump in a 3gallon tank,it would be like a river flowing. :ROFL:

this is how it will go from bottom up,
pump
separator "pretty eh?lol"
then i will add scrubbies
then filter fiber stuff
then i planned to make a drip plate
"i might still try this out" :)

but im thinking this could be done to a 10g,or a bigger tank,easy.
just figured i would share.
:popcorn:
