500 Gallon Filtration Idea

[JasonsPlecosCichlids]

Since we are almost at the point of purchasing a home, I need to come up with an idea for the big tank.

I attached a photo of what I'm thinking about.

Basically, wanting to have about a 50 GPD drip system with the Ultima II 10,000 and a 4000 GPH pump. I had a 3600 GPH pump last time and I want to up that to at least 4000 GPH or a little more. My tank was flawless last time.

Anyone see problems with this?

That's pretty much my plan. My wife and I put a hold on a lot 3 days ago....

How you plan on feeding the filter? Overflow or tube?

How much water does it take to backwash that bad boy?
