Hey Y'all,
I was hoping that someone could tell me how to eliminate/minimize "dead spots" in the media (bio-balls) of my wet/dry filter.
You can see in the pic that water isn't trickling over one of the corners. I use a bonded (Rite-size) filter pad as a prefilter over the drip tray. The filter sits level & is fed by 2 overflows (1" bulkheads). Tank is 100g (2 corner overflows) w/ a pro-clear 175 wet/dry.
View of the drain lines & T-fitting to filter:
I have a set of Durso standpipes that I made for this tank laying around. Would those make a difference in keeping the drain lines "filled"? (thus, increasing the flow over the drip tray & lessening the dead spot? Dursos are 1.25" with a reducer to fit the 1" bulkheads. The only reason I haven't already put them on is that the tank is outside & noise isn't an issue.
Thanks for looking!
