alextret Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I wonder if anyone has an experience of using a tank with an under gravel filter as a filter unit servicing other tanks. Power head installed in the tank acting as a filter is to pump water through a thick layer of gravel and than into a chain of siphoned through tanks. This appears to be one of the commonly considered sump filter designs. I like its versatility (one can adjust the configuration of chains of siphoned through tanks and assign tanks to serve as filters as need arises).

alanmin4304 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 The principle is the same as one in each tank and the same rules would apply. The only problem I would see is that a disease in one tank is a disease in all tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Better ways to run a sump system I think, ie bio balls, floss etc. Hook up a uv filter on the return hose and no problems with cross contamination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
