Very much south..
My new Aro tank:

400 litres sump. six chambers in it.

Above it, with 500 litr/hr pump, wet/dry with foam and bioballs.

Inside the last chamber ( from where water is pumped back into the tank ) I have another pump (2500 litres/hour ) that sends part of the filtered water back to chamber 2 to do the sump circuit again.

Alongside the sump ( and working with the sump ) I have an Eheim cannister full of Chemi Pure ( could be full of carbon, if needed ),

and I still would like to have more, because this tank is FULL.

In all my other tanks, the least I have is 2 big cannisters ( 2280's and 2260' and 2250 Eheims as well as those overflow boxes ??)

Our 300 gallon tank system has a ProClear 400 Wet dry filter with a CA-6000 pump (1560 gph) for biological filtration; for mechanical filtration, two Rainbow Lifeguard spa filters run by a big Reef Flo Hammerhead pump (5800 gph). For redundant backup filtration we have an FX5 with a 40 Watt Pentair Aquatics UV sterilizer connected to it.

I've got a 10 gal tank set up at the moment with a diy overflow, buffer tank and sump with ~8 gal of filter media, the sump and buffer tank hold almost twice as much water volume as the 10 gal it's self :ROFL:
