Very impressive setup there. Where is the pump?If you have located the pump just behind the tower then a large part of the filtered water would be drawn back to the TT again .The inlet should be placed preferably at the opposite end of the return to ensure good circulation , optimal and uniform filtration. Just my two cents worth.kekekekeke
Looks like you have to periodically remove unsightly algae from the “glass” panel to view the fish.Do you have visits of gnats and insects with this exposed filtration setup? |

The pump is at the right side with the pipe attached with a valve. Just beside the tower. Haha, week by week need to scrap off the algae in order to view the ranchus from side view. No, no insects etc. As I use a air stone to blow in compartment of the pump for bacteria growth. But I do have some snails around. |
