DIY overhead wet/dry for 75 gallon

[Death03]

I am planning to build a wet/dry over head for my 75 since I will be able to repair it next month. It will be 3 pcs of stacked plastic planter which is 16x8x6" of size with filter floss in the top layer, pot scrubbies in the middle and a submerged ceramic rings for the bottom layer. Is this a sufficient filtration for a slightly overstocked 75 gallon?

very similar to what I have on my 75, except mines not an overhead wet/dry. You should be fine, but that depends on a couple of things. How many GPH is the pump and what is your water change schedule?

I will buy a pump minimum of 2200 l/h, is that okay? I change 40-50% of water every week if I'm busy and 30% twice a week if not

That's a lot of water changing! What are your water parameters reading when you do a water change?

turnovers good. Id say you should be fine! What are you going to stock the tank with?

Make sure the return drain and the media can't plug up and cause it to overflow.

I really don't have a water test right now so I just have to so a water change as much as I can, I don't have to heat it though cuz the tap water and the tank water temp is the same

I have 1 severum, 1 blood parrot and a senegal bichir in my 50g right now and that's where they're going to go. I always make sure that it wont' clog and will do a 1 week test run

or put an overflow pipe in case it does plug up...problem solved
