I put water in it and hooked up a small powerhead to post some pics for every one! Im planning on having this run at 500GPH.
Looks sweet!!
There's one thing I'd consider changing, though. The third small piece of plexi, that looks as though it's suspended mid tank, needs to be positioned a fair bit lower (IMO) to trap any bubbles more effectively.
Just a thought. Nice work, though!!

i think your right, while it was running i was thinking the same thing!
i made it that tall becasue the sponge i am going to put there fits perfecty! i dont think i'll have a bubble problem with the wall and the sponge do you? or should i lower it and use a smaller sponge?
Forgot about the sponge! Oooops. Yes, looking back I can see it, now.
You might run into an issue with the sponge impairing the waterflow, though. I think the flow thru the sponge wouldn't be as fast as it is flowing into the first chamber, and therefore backing up behind it.... I think that's why dudes don't put a sponge in that spot, to keep the flow up to the system. Just a thought.
Why not put the sponge in place and try running water thru again?

i was thinking that as well, but with proper maintainence, i shouldnt have any issues. if that sponge does clog, the water will just flow over the wall and to the pump anyway.
i may not even add the sponge at all and may just bulk up on the pre filter. im also thinking of chnging/adding something to where the water enters to add some sort of mechanical filtration.
