Increased bioload in my 125g required some action. Some funky clown action. This looks like a birthday cake slapped on Walt Disney's face. If you have anything uglier in your filtration, bring it.

Yeah. The water is pumped through the mesh and then immediately through scouring pads. After that it trickles down the scrubbies and out the hole in the bottom where the tea nozzle used to be and across those folded scouring pads. Then the water then has to turn around the corner and pass through the clog-proofing plastic grid and through the little holes I drilled in the side. It's bumped up against my aquaclear so the returns merge. If you look closely you can find the little holes in the tray in the first pic below the left lobe of stray nylon. Also in the third pic just above the date in the shadows.
 
No, no siphon. It's pumped in via a medium-sized fountain pump. Then it overflows back out.
