Just saw a thread here regarding doing a hydroponics in his sump. Not a bad idea...... I might do that do. Instead of just all mangroves why not some lettuce and tomatoes........... Free vagetables. HAve to dig deeper into this... Filters your water and gives you food

Thanks for the tip on my bleached Rocks !!

You can add some dechlorinator as well. That will neutralize any leftovers.

Yes it is very interesting. Just saw a thread inquiring about it but doesn't have much info yet. Hopefully somebody with experience shares some there.

My discus are runing out of tank space so I have to make a new smaller tank for them. bought 4 pcs of 3X1 shelf glass for $0.5 each. Gooped them together.

Bottome will be leftover pond liner. Wrapped plywood with it.

Put glass on top and (anybody getting sick of this thing already )do the GOOP tilting method again.

I just used silicone to seal glass

That last "discus tank" scares me.......

I love checking in on you Arl

also did my collecting tank. This tank will catch the dripping water that came from the overflow of settling tank and have passed/trickled through the filter media. Then divert it to the sump. diverting pipe is 2 - 4". Gooped 2 - 4" coupling to abs sheet.

Pipes to the sump and my drain valve
