@JC1119 - Are those boxes attached to your return pump something you DIY'd or something available for that specific pump?
 
This is the one for the 300 in my sig. Much more detailed in the thread itself, but this will give you an idea.

Very professional Looks Great. With the start of your filtration bing the socks dose the water over flow when they start getting cloged?
I need to make a new over tank mechanical filter for a very heavy load. useing A mag1800
I'm thinking about a kitchen trash can with the drain hole very low or on bottom. Also thanking about using the foam from a couch cushion and stacking about 20 inches thick.
Yes I gussing it will look getto but I will probable going to make a box for the can to get rid of the getto look< LOL.
Im using a under gravel plate i made so the bio will be in the tank.
What do yall thank?

They are Tetra pond boxes. They come with adapters to fit just about any kind of pump. Cost about 25 bucks and a pretty cool way to make sure the water moves through the bio. plus they have sponges inside the boxes as well
