just want to show everyone my new filter :)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Not sure if I just missed it but what kinda boxes are those that you're using?

not shaw what brand but i got them from a plastic shop in aus and the dude said 4x4 people get them to stoor **** in the back coz they stack really well and there strong. its all food grade plastic aswell.
 
im running an fx5 aswell and no no filter socs. the two over flows and overkill for my pump tho i have a bigger one witch ill add on as well witch should give me about 1800 leters an hour. do u think it could handle it ??


I have tried numerous various pumps on my sump and the only difference I have seen is in my electric bill... not water quality. My single 1" overflow pipe is just barely able to keep up with my biggest 900gph pressure pump (1/4hp) pushing the return water through a clean Ocean Clear filter (Who knows what the real in service gph is). You don't mention the size of your pipes?
 
wait what is gathering the water from the tank?

do you have a pump connected to the inlet vales creating suction?

they are called overflows and they work with the techic called syphone or how evan u spell it . no pumps sucking anything just a pump putting the water back from the sump to the tank.
