Equipment - Details
Link Details  | ID: | 121 | | Title: | Equipment - http://www.geocities.com/Petsburgh/Fair/6414/equipment.html | | Description: | The first diagram below shows a top view of the whisper 3 wet/dry power filter that hangs on the back of the 30gal. main tank. I don't have an over flow, and I wasn't fond of the idea of using a siphon to supply water to the sump. I used what I had laying around which helped save on cost while at the same time trying to prevent all posibilities of flooding. The pump of the whisper draws water from the main tank into the filter chamber which is separated by a divider that I put in (the red line on the diagram below). The water passes through a fiber cartridge (green lines ) that catches the large particles, and then gravity flows to the sump via 1/2" cpvc. The return line is also 1/2" cpvc which comes in on the other side of the divider (red line), passes through a second fiber filter and flows back into the tank. The blue arrows show the direction of water flow. | | Category: | Sumps - Wet/Dry Filters | | Link Owner: | KingVinnie | | Date Added: | May 27, 2008 09:59:27 AM | | Number Hits: | 207 | | |
