Because the overseas pump fits perfectly in the sump tray,
basically, it (the pump) was meant for this type of unit and being that the filter
is above the tank, I want the pump above as well.
IMO it's worth the wait and the extra couple of bucks.
i thought all of the U.S used 110 volts? if you have a 220 outlet why dont you just run a couple extra outlets from your breaker box and just use one leg of your power coming in? woudlnt it be cheaper than a transformer?
Do you have a website link or manufacturers' name & model? I've been wanting to try something like this but wanted to see a better view of the unit.

Oh MAn!!!
Someone told me it was 220v!!
I just checked some plugs and they all say 120v!
I feel so freegin Stupid!!!
OK, So, now that I cleared that up, do u think I will still fry my pump if I put 120v into 110v???
PLEASE HELP!
Any Electricians out there ???
You shouldn't have any problem as far as I can tell, as long as they really are 120V and not 220V. There's not much difference between 120V and 110v, especially for a pump (not voltage sensitive like IC's).
haha. pretty common over here, it's actually the most-used filtration method i'd say. good luck with it
Make sure you keep us updated. I think this thing would just be a bio filter stuff if full of bio media I mean how much do you think that thing will hold omg its got to be alot. then run a FX5 on the tank too to get the mass amount of mechanical filtratuion too. And you got the baskets for chem. man I think that would be a great setup. How tall is this thing post the LxWxH on it. Would your light setup cover it ?
