Got the 300! Filtration ideas needed!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I may have glanced too fast but am i seeing 2 drains and 4 returns with someone of the water cycling through the sump again instead of going through the tank? :cool:

Redid the valving. Gives me more pipe to break away for access.

And actually, I could just replace the black ball valve seen in the picture with another double union valve. I could just break that all away.

...aaaahhhh ; )

Look at a fluidized bed filter to hang on the back in case a sump fails or even a external cannister fails. Always have an airation source too separate. Redundancy is the key to prevention of catastrophic system failure.

My setup is completely fail proof. Sump has a 2" drain for my drip system. Even if the pump fails my sump will hold more than the backflowed water. I think im fail disaster proof anyway lol.

Well update:

Ran the pump, and I have 1 leak and 2 cracked bulkheads... frown. The leak is an easy fix, just need 2 new bulkheads for the returns.

I also called Dolphin today, and they said I can safely valve the pump back more than even half way. Their pumps have certain motors that sense the change and use less power.

Looks like I have some work to do, good news is I can keep my pump (for now anyway)
