in my 20 gal long sump filter I had a 4x9" cube of cell pore, a bag of peat, and a couple heaters. Oh and a mag drive 12 pump

the purflow micron filter pads are awesome -- their cheap and do a great job for mechanical filtration - i use one on my wet/dry where the water comes in over the drip plate, plus i use them in a number of other power filter as well for extra mechanical filtration - you just rinse them off or give a bleach bath to get them completley clean

Most of mine are like this....


FIlter pad on the drip tray, (i buy a huge roll of furnace filter from a local company -super cheap and safe to use) egg crate a few inches below the drip tray to place my bags of chemical filtration when needed (carbon, etc..), tons of bio balls sitting on another sheet of eggcrate to get the bio balls up of the bottom a couple on inches, large air stones below the egg crate to inject fresh air to the bio balls.

In the sump area I have large slabs of cell pore arranged to force the water to flow thru them and another air stone.

i was thinking of putting an air pump and stones under my bio-balls.
