Epic Overhaul/Builds: 3D Backgrounds 300g-125g-120g
- Thread starter JK47
- Start date
I don't know that I've ever read a single thread that has so many creative ideas which combine form and function into such an elegant whole. Keep it up so I can keep figuring out what I can steal and incorporate. No rush mind you, I figure I won't be setting up another 120 until the first of the year, plenty of time to reap what I can of your experience. 
If I time things right I figure I can rotate my stock through each tank and renovate them one at a time. Then maybe the daemons and ferns will quit whining about their austere home.

Can you clarify your question for me please? If I think I know where your going, the background will not clog. Water does not flow through it, water flows above it. I cut the height down to be below the water line. I can use a canister or HOB with thid setup. I'll take a picture of how everything fits and post it for you later tonight.

Here you are sir.
The chamber here is basically only for the filter intake, heater and a place to grow large plants to do most of the biological filtration. The HOB is mainly for mechanical. I ordered a tiny canister today too so I can switch out the HOB.
it's a "mini-monster" tank lol...
