500 Gal filtered by a Xp3

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was thinking with the media removed from the XP3 you could circulate more water.

To preserve the media in the sump get an air stone and put it underneath the bio media. This will provide some circulation and oxygen.

How about a powerhead with some tubing?

Seeing that my pump has been dead for 48 hours now-
Do we think it's worth trying to save my bio media....
How long will it stay good for.....I can't get to it for another couple hours as well....

I would think there is some that would still live as long as the media hasn't dried out.
 
as long as you can get some circulation in the sump youl be fine as far as i know... what about taking a piece or air tubing, any length and put it in one end of the sump sucking through to tube to fill the air tube than putting it at the other side of the sump.. and let gravity and physics do ur circulation till u get a new pump, it wud keep ur water in the sump moving constanly, that and the airstone under the media and i dont see why your media wouldnt stay fine

I'll take a pic os my sump setup today and get it posted when time permits me too.......I dont see how I could do this---But that certainly doesn't mean I am overlooking something here...

If it could be done-that would be great-My sump is a pian in the butt to tear apart....it's friggin huge too.....
