first off, excellent w/d. Was just wondering what size pvc pipes are your overflows and what pumps are you using? How thick is the drip plate?

Thanks for the complement...

I dont have this filter anymore,but when it was set up,I had it running with 2 quiet one 4000 pumps.

The overflows are 1".

The drip plate was...I think .22.

did the two overflows keep up with the 2 quiet ones?

Yes they did,worked great for me,
but I was told by a few that it was too little,& may become in issue after time.

Thanks for doing such a great job! I had only the slightest idea how Sump/Wet-Dry filtration worked before I read this thread. Now it is all making sense!

I made one!!!

I don't have pics yet and I'm leaving out of town today so I'll post pics up next week.

Thanks for your instructions I used them. Gotta finish out the details but it looks good so far.

I used a 30 gallon tank that will filter a 100 gallon.

What are your plans for mech. filtration,socks?
Yep. I have the website open now.

I think I'm going to do the 200 micron and I'll run two of them like your set up.
