Filtrations fun.

I really wish I wouldn't have missed some steps in the process of eveolution of a MFKer. I really needed to find all this filtration crap interesting and started experimenting with it before spending oodles of money on fish.

But I guess if you don't spend the money on the fish and loose a few you don't truley understand the importance of it.

Maybe by stumbling onto threads like this some of the newer generations of MFKers will find it interesting......

I personally find it Extremely interesting! I have a thousand questions about sumps and pumps and overflows, as I have no experience with them until tonight when I begin to plumb a drilled 125 and turn an old glass 55 into a sump. I do know that bacteria functions best in an oxygen rich environment so I will use a trickle effect in my bio chamber and then baffle out the bubbles, other than mechanical filtration is there anything else I need?
