I don't understand what these do. Care to inform the uninformed, Li?

I have been thinking about adding one of them to my 220.

FB900 is 34.5” (87.63 cm) in height! that is why i place it out side the tank...

Just be careful.
I have had a FB600 running for about a year now I came home from work to find a lot of water on my carpet it was the FB600 leaking from the base the very bottom plate joint.
I am now going to make my own FBF filter for my new 400gal tank do not trust the lifeguard ones any more it was lucky I was not on Holidays

they are call sand filter... the only down size is when you want to restart again... but once you get it running! it can handle massive bio-load

FB900 is made for a 900 gallon and only $87 bucks!
