I bought 36 pot scrubbers so far for my 20 gallon sump. I am just wondering how many I need to filter about 50 gallons of water? Thanks!

The scrubbies are supposed to have water drip on the stack of them so it depends on the air space you have under your final filter. Over-stuffing doesn't do much good and is self-defeating at a point. Just stack one on top of another till they're just below the filter.

Totally off subject, but my 55 gal came with an extra hob, it's smaller than a 10/20, I didn't have the right size filters. So I had a couple extra pot scrubbers, I stuck them in there. don't think it'll do much, hoping it does some biofilteration. wander if a sponge would've worked better?
This is for ponds but very good: tells you how good they can be but put all you can in.

It'll take a while, but it will start a bio process. And if the return water is splashing going back in, all the better.
If you wanted a filter, then go witha sponge or poly fil batting, just make sure it can't get sucked into the filter.

So far I have boughten 60 pot scrubbers for my 20 gallon sump, which is not made yet. Is there a way to get the water in the sump to go higher than the drip chamber without the water covering the bio media in the drip chamber. I guess I am trying to see if by putting in some dividers if it is possible. does that make any sense at all?
