Re: video of my wet/dry filter(Actually A SUMP my bad)

A video description of my filter
here is where i got my overflow box

For those that dont know what a over flow box is u can check out this video if u want to know more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zVGwdRVHU4&feature=player_embedded#!

what a over flow box does is :
1. the water that is pumped from the sump tank (in the video the tank that is on the floor) fills up the aquarium
2. if there was no way to return the water pumped from the sump tank the main aquarium would over flow with water (this is where the overflow-box comes in)
3. The over flow box skims the water of the surface (if u dont know how this works get familiar with the design of an over flow box) and uses a siphon to pull the water over the edge of the aquarium glass
4. this water then falls back to the sump tank(where it gets filtered, heated and carbonated [co2 injection]) and the process repeats with the pump in the sump tank pumping water in back up to the main aquarium

I have a ten gallon with a hang-on filter with a biofiber, but my water is still kind of foggy. Would you reccomend a small, say 1,2, mabey 5 gallon undergravel? or another kind? Please respond.

@ben191209 I do not have any experience with under gravel filters but what I would recommend is 1 of two options a) buy some microfiber filter media and add it to your filter b) do a a larger water change then usual and if that doesn't help you might want to look into a larger filter but**** i must add that a larger aquarium is easier to take care of than a 10 g since them more water you have the more stable the aquarium tends to be... so u might want to look into that... hope that helps :)

it looks like you are craving for a salt water tank. btw that room must be really noisy with all that water flowing around.

[GlobalWarmings]

It's NOT A WET / DRY It's a Sump filter. It's only a Wet/Dry if it's bioballs are above the water. DUH

[1mm0rtaldreads]

why do you need a sump for a fresh tank?

[nhwoj12]

[cntsay1]

[saveryanplz]

Hey global, nice job, what size pump are you sing...by the way it really is a sump, you don't have any dry bio-material in there, but I like the unit and am building one tht is very similar...your tank has nice shiny water....thanks...COLT1911A

Well done! The insulation on the plumbing is brilliant! I think if you wanted too, you could even insulate the elbows too. I've seen another you-tuber make a video on how to DIY the elbow insulation.
