New 700 Litre tank filtration questions
- Thread starter BenScoobert
- Start date
Did anyone read the article in PFK May issue, page 106-107. All about using soil under your gravel, I read it right after I finished, after reading I will now thin my gravel a little, this helps prevent build up of hydrogen sulphide.
Gravel levelled a little.
water tests are:
PH 6.8
Am 0.2
Ni 0
Na 7
I put the 4 largest rocks frmo the small tank in and moved the large filter to the large tank, pumps still exchanging water between tanks.

It ain't over yet, i need to get the whole system transferred.
I ordered 200 plants which should arrive tomorrow.
For the doubters, the 2 pipe anti siphon worked but you need to bend one of the pipes.

ok, i'll explain it as best i can, thomas...ermmm danny
3 pieces of pipe, 1 T piece, 1 pump
pump goes in tank with pipe no. 1 coming up to the top of the tank and into the T piece
T piece has pipes 2 and 3 which are different lengths running into sump but ends not submerged, pipe 2 runs straight down to sump, pipe 3 goes a bit bendy to create a U bend type effort
when pump is running, flow goes into both but as pipe 2 is direct water flows freely through
pipe 3 fills the U and stops
when the pump stops, air is sucked up the U (pipe 3) by the weight of water in pipe 2 and the syphon is broken
