Just got my 300 gallon metal trough for my AST (I know I have to seal it so the zinc doesn't leach) I plan on using a 55 gallon drum with a 2000 ish gph pump. Im going to pump water into the bottom of the drum where there is a void of just water and it's going to be pushed up thru rocks of smaller and smaller size till the top is just pool filter sand. (I've seen a lot of people use these on large koi ponds) so my question is will there be enough BB made to keep my alligator snapping turtle tank stable.
Cleaning the filter is easy it'll have a valve on bottom to suck out all the big junk. Then there is a pipe that you hook a air hose up to and "boil" out the smaller stuff
This will give you an idea of what I'm talking about, my plans are a little different but you get the idea.
