I am in the process of making a background and thought about adding extra filtration behind it. I have been researching on here for awhile now and came up with what I think will work best for me. I am attempting a modified version of bface1212 wonderful back-to-nature modules. I(I will document it and post it after my completion) Instead of siliconing them right to the back of the tank, like bface1212, I would like to attach them to a piece of acrylic.
So here is my idea. I would like to keep the acrlic away from the back of the tank about 2 and 1/2 inches. On the left top side of the acrylic, I would like to drill some holes for an overflow. That would flow under and to the right to another chamber sperted by a seperate piece of acrylic with bio balls in it, leading over and to the right of another piece of acrylic into the next chamber with open-cell foam in it( this would be done in a zig-zag motion from bottom-top-bottom, then it would finally go to the out-take of an XP3 and powerhead that leads to an UGJ system in front of the background.
Any comments and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh! Also, where should I place the intake to my XP3, top righthand corner? and should I use spray bar or nozzle? Because I need to start planning on which to incorporate and blend into my background. Thanks!
