owen Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Heres my new tank its nothing special but it does have an interesting filter.. Thats my little paradise fish infront of the obelisque like thing. She doesnt have any friends yet- any suggestions would be appreciated anyway what makes this tank different is the peace lily growing out the top- its a combination of a wet/dry biofilter and a hydroponic setup. Water is pumped from the tank onto the top of the pot where it drains through it and back into the tank... Thats two of four tubes that trickle water onto scouring pad prefilters that trap gunk before it clogs the biomedia. The pot is filled with crushed terracotta pot. Iv made many large pond filters using aquatic plants, but this is my first attempt at a wet/dry and first indoor aquarium filter Iv made. I think it could work well for larger tanks as a modular system and could be used as a finishing filter in conjunction with a canister or powerhead. Anyway what do you think? If anyone can spot any flaws or ways to improve it please reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim&Dan Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 That's a pretty cool idea! It resembles what happens with water in nature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
