Diy Wet/dry Filter

[dwezil20]

After receiving 2 broken Marineland acrylic sump filters from an online vendor, I decided to build my own wet/dry filter. The filter was built using a Sterilite 4-dawer set and a 22 gallon plastic container. I use a continuous siphon overflow box by CPR (800 gph) to move water down into the filter. Water is pump back up to the tank using a Quiet One pump 3000 (780 gph)

gotta love that CPR box. hard to believe it took so long for someone to come up with a sealed 1 piece design like that. if i were ever to run a box style overflow, that would definitely be it.

besides the bio-wheels, youve got yourself a nice DIY set up there. and it fits perfectly in your stand.

good job

I love the drawer design to your filter. It must make it very easy to maintain. Each filter section can just be pulled out for servicing. Nice job.
