125 Gal filtration. (Sump)

[esse]

My 125 Gal filtration.
1. Into the corner overflow boxes.
2. Through poly fiber, sponge, & felt.
3. Through bio balls.
4. Drain to top of sump.
5. Through blue bonded pad,- Slab of Cell Pore- Felt pad - Carbon infused pad. (All this in the drip tray).
6. Through the bio ball chamber.
7. Bottom of sump crammed full of ceramic rings. (Big time $$).
8. Last it goes through a big sponge on the pump intake and back to the tank at 950 GPH.

Looks like empty light tube boxes for bracing.

Red Green would be proud!

Yes that is it. Gives good support without the extra weight. It was making a “Gurgling” sound before. All quite now.

Great sump. It looks like you've maximized the use of space very well.

That's a nice setup. I'm new to this, and I was wondering if that's a lot of bio filtration.

Thanks, I could not fit another ring or bio ball in there if I wanted to.

Yes that is a lot of bio filtration. We members like to over filtrate Also the tank is stocked on the heavy side so it helps me sleep at night.

ok, that makes sense. So, the theory is that you can't have too much bio filtration?
