Yes if you want your bio balls to be wet dry that needs to be lower because the water before the pump is going to level out so if that part is above the bio balls the water will also be

Did you think of what media you are putting in your middle section?

Is that the only problem with the sump now ? Everything else is fine ? I might be putting biohome or biomax in the middle section

Just move the bio balls higher look on here for drip chambers maybe if you have a plastic box fill that with your bio balls and have that sitting ontop of the tank

Youve definitely got the right idea.

Baffles are kind of unnecessary.


I just made a simple mesh box out of needlepoint plastic for my fry grow out.

Bioballs and a wet dry filter are great. Make sure your water is mechanically filtered before your bioballs. Keep your bioballs clean or they can be a source of nitrates.

if you planning of using bio home i suggest stack them up so it holds your egg create up in air and still use some PVC of course but why waste the space of sump when you can maximize the space..

yes correct.. if allowable stack the bio home up right to suspend the egg create that holds to bio balls.. if needs to be suspended higher get 2" PVCs and stick the bio home into pvc but notch one end of PVC so there is a gap so water can flow through the pvc where bio home is inside...
