Filter System At H20 Custom Aquatics

[ettfettbranamn]

It's just hard to even begin to comprehend a filtration system of this magnitude without at least a diagram. Is it gravity fed? Gravity return? What is used for mechanical filtration exactly? Pads? Socks? What kind of micron specs on the different levels of mechanical filtration? Where do these bead filters, that all you upper level fishkeepers seem to be so hip on, fit into this system and exactly what are they used for? What exactly, where, and how much bio is involved? Is there 1 central system for all the rays or multiple sysytems? Or 1 system with a bunch of ball valves to be able to isolate into different systems?

Lets put it this way..... I'm a lil piece of Stingray poo about to leave a ray pond at H20....... If you can explain the whole trip of leaving the pond to re-entering the pond and EVERY piece of equipment/device I will be touching along the way that would be really great........ That will more than likely answer most questions.......

Sorry for all the questions but this is something I have wondered about for a VERY long time.

Check the the filters... they are like working overtime "SWEATING"

Could you give more details.........PLEASE!!!..................thanks

Your setup is so massive, you use a death star as a filter!!!

the system is gravity fed... water comes in through a 8" bulkhead and the through filter socks.. there is a bio tower and sand filter... now he did add new ponds so im not 100% on how the system is now....
