rosco Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi there ray, Here is an very old picce of my fishroom system The system consists of the top 2 tanks (6x2x18(H)'s) and in the front 3 on the second level tanks (3 x 2x18x18's) . The Sump is on the bottom level and is a 3x18x18 with 3 chambers with a 6000lph return pump. I have 4 return inlets from the tanks, with the 1 outlet that is split and flow controlled by 25 mm irrigation taps. 3 of the return inlets are 25 mm. These come back from the 2x18x18's and the other is 32mm return pipe that joins the 2 6x2x18's. I expand this fitting from a 20mm outlet to a 25 to 32 to remove the back pressure. In the main chamber of the sump I have a drip tray (basically a lid from a go-lo container with heaps of holes drilled in it). The next layer is course 50mm aquarium sponge sheets (I bought these from AoA). the Next layer is 50mm dacron the next layer is 135 kitchen sponges from go-lo (the same that Baz uses ). This is all sitting on a bread crate. The second chamber contains a filter bag that has approx 2 litres of matrix with the 3 chamber containing the return pump. HTH cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
