Whos got the most overfiltered tank here on MFK?

[tcarswell]

Two 450 gallon tanks with a 140 gallon wet/dry with approx 25-30 gallons of bio balls. constant water change drip system that changes 150 gallons a day. Water turn over is about 4 - 5 times per hour. 40 Watt Aqua UV sterilzer coming soon. 12 motoros, 1 gar and a huge green severum. I change the filter pad in my 24" x 36" drip tray every 2 days or so.

That is so frickin sweet.

I don't know if it is overfiltered or not but here is a short video showing the filtration on my 300.

Don't forget about the small reactor with the Phosban.

As for the matrix, this time I went with the generic carbon from www.kensfish.com. I love that site.

Right on. How long did the matrix last for you ?

I just changed it for the first time today. I really don't know how long it's been "dead" though. Today was the first time I changed the purigen as well. It's still not really dark but I figure it's time for some new anyway. I'm going to recharge the old and set it aside for next time.
