Filtration Pic Thread

1) it starts with an overflow in white wool , then biobals big one's ( made at my friends work ) why big becouse it woud brake up the water and mix it good with oxygen then big filtration mats ansd then in the pipe to the sump

2) the pipe runs to the other side for cooling reasons ( my water is alway's 27-29 degrees celcius ) so it loses about 1-1.5 degree for better growth of bacteria , and it take oxygen along = longer pipe more time the oxygen stays with the water , the oxygen is forced with the water in the sump making the water move alot, for again oxygen .

3) a)the sump starts with again white wool = lots of bateria then 4 kinds of filtration mat's .

b)then biobals and in that there is an pump ( smal one ) that moves the biobal geltly around and making the water move at the surface (oxygen)

c) kind of very very thin perforated hard filtration stiks

d) then turf with patatoe bags the the pump and some withe wool for some exra biofiltration



4) then the pipe from the pump goes to 2 seperate pipes and so i have 2 exit's so more flow al around the tank and on the bottom ( they exit both at the surface but one is pionted toward the glas and puches water to the bottem so it wil cirkulate )

so that's it , quite simpel , but it works.

il answer any ?

ps i live in belgium at the time writing it is 0.30 at night so i need the sleep , work .il answer wen il get back from work greets

IC?

Nothing impressive just thought id throw it out there, It doesn't show my AC110 and top fin 60 HOB's or my new powerheads (with sponge filters) that keep my rock work clean. Also I have a reverse under gravel set up soon. Standard UGF with air stones for right now.
the tank is a 55 gallon. Soon im getting a 400+gallon and that will have something to drool over I guarantee it.
Also I now have three of those bigger dual outlet rena air pumps . 2 for the under gravel and one for a killer 18" bubble wall. (Heated by a 200 watt visi therm stealth)

Soon to come
18 watt UV coral life twist UV sterilizer (Have unit need to install)
Working on designing a wet dry filter out of my old 15 gallon tall.
Reverse under gravel filter (Have materials just need to install).

The evolution since joining MFK and being inspired This is under my 90 gallon

Have since added a 18 watt coral life twist to the eheim 2215 on this tank. Also it has two HOB's An AC110 and a topfin60 (Bags stuffed with purigen)
I am building a denitrifier as well that is going to be through the wall behind this tank in the converted garage.
I also have an RO by Coral life I have not setup but it will be setup to do auto water changing.

BUMP for real monsters
