Army men? I say scuba men,I saw some in the dollar store!!

Those are not army men, they are in the water, that makes them marines.

Check out my super cheap sump in MY PHOTO GALLERY.
I have a 29g and a 44g tank being serviced by this wet/dry.
I have two small drawers with filter pads and a large drawer with bio-bail. (My next one will have plastic army men!)
The heaters are also in there to help uncluter the tanks.

How easy would it be to make a filter for a 75 gallon freshwater tank?

suspended sand to catch big stuff, algea filter ( very easy to make), bio wheels, and basic filter cartirdges.
