as i get the plumbing all smoothed out my thoughts turn to the wet/dry i am going to build... now the tank itself is not an issue and neither is the bio-tower (i will be using a lock top container instead of the buckets to save room and have a cleaner look)
i dont have a way to draft up anything and post it so please use your imagination as i describe the set up
the overflow runs to the top of the bucket and in through a drilled hole and PVC connection (for security)
inside will have a small tray for a filter pad
under the tray will be filled with plastic scrubbies
the bottom drilled for flow out
the bottom 2-2.5 inches will be submerged and there will be about 2-3 inches clearance under the container
eventually i wil have some substrate and possibly some ceramic noodles for added bio
after this "refugium" area will be a low divider about 3-4 inches high and then ther return pum area this will then pum back to a T and split the return for the middle and end of the tank opposite the overflow....
my container is about 3 or 4 gallons large so i am wondering if this will create enough bio-filtration set up as planned or should i consider a larger set up.... BTW its going to a 72 gallon tank and the sump is a 20 long..... i figure about 10-15 gallons actual water in the sump
