Home made sump, or Biowheel

[AnDr3w]

A wet/dry is usually in a sump. A wet/dry just holds media that is partially wet and partially dry. The water flows over the media into the sump then gets pumped back into the tank.

Is a wet/dry kind of like a trickle filter? Thanks for all the help.

Don't mean to hi-jack the thread but isn't a bio-wheel a similar concenpt to media (bio balls, pot scrubbers) in a wet/dry/sump? The bio whell is just on a smaller scale? Both house bacteria for the nitrogen cycle, both get oxygen, etc. Am I wrong to think this?

Yes, just a way of adding the benefits of a W/D to a HOB ( on a small scale).

For the most part yes, W/D's are usually higher flowing tho.
