it looks great
help me understand the sump though, the water levels are throwing me off. looks like you have submerged media before your wetdry section with the bioballs?

I think that is the mechanical filtration part.

Nice sump, looks kool.

Hi alcohologist,

The first 2 chambers on both sides of the sump are filled with 15 ltrs of matrix which is a bio media but does offer some mech as well on top of that I have 3 pieces of filter wool and 1 piece of matting this is my main mech filtration these 2 chambers are my wet part of the filter.

The next 2 chambers are filled with bio balls again with 2 layers of filter wool and matting water is passed into this section via drip trays,these chambers are my dry part of the filter, I chose to go this way so as to keep the water level low in this section so as if there is ever a power outage whilst not at home the tank will not overflow the sump.

I hope this helps

Hi all,

I have tried to get some full tank shots but I am afraid they are not so good as I really don't have the room to do so as the tank is located in the garage. Anyways here they are along with some pics of the residents.

I purchased the tank,sump and stand second hand a while back, The stand was a 50 x 50 boxed steel stand all I have done was lined it with Pine. I couldn't imagine this tank being in the house with the amount of water the Bass splash out each feeding time

Hell that filtration could pump a lake and make it produce holy water!
