I went from an average load to a heavy load 125g tank in the recent months and have no money for canister filter. Currently running a whisper HOB with only a sponge (been running this for 15+ years). Recently, I did a diy filter using a 500g powerhead to send water up through a spray bar on top of the tank into a narrow, but 3ft long, drip tray on top of the aquarium. On top of the drip tray is the blue/white filter floss and right under this floss is another white floss. In the future I might add some biomedia under the blue/white floss. The drip tray drips right into the tank. I plan on adding an AC110. So my question is... Do you guys think this filter set up is adequate to be called a wet dry? The biomedia will never be submerged in water as the bottom drips quickly enough into the tank. Secondly, is the filter design itself a strong filter? And lastly, do you guys this my whisper hob, this filter setup, and possibly an AC110 enough?
~I have a 12in arowo, 18 2-3in blood parrots, 1 8in FH, and 1 6in giant guorami. The recent additions are the 18 blood parrots. My setup for years have only been everything mentioned but only 3 blood parrots instead of 18. I added 15 more to prevent arowo from fighting and it seems to be working for 2months now.
