i only see the water overflowing thru the sponge and being pussed back by the pump

how does it get filtered in your tank? adequate flow and CUC right?

Hey Tinman
Good question. I probably should of taken pictures of how I built the filter. Here it is in a nut shell.

Starting from the top working down towards the return pump I have three different layers of sponge. Pre filter, carbon and an ammonia removing media in a fine mesh bag.

Nate also has answered half of the question too. I am planning on removing half a gallon of water or less depending on feeding every other day. I also rigged up a small rigid tube vacuum to clean the glass bottom.

:)

you are making me tempted to keep my fluval also .. but i dont have those skills to build that overflow or shell lol

Never hurts to try. I think the final total for parts that I had to buy was $40. Everything else I had sitting around my fish closet. Taking up space.
 
Here's a shot with the new AI controller running the nano sol.

Hey Jeff. The controller is a must to get the most out of the nano AI. I have the dialed type controller and it was a real pain to use, plus it was kinda FUBAR when I bought from the guy at RC.

I think Mr. Saltwater TV did a real good demo of the unit and listed the pros and cons. Some I really agree with but the benefits outweighed my concern. The MA's you sold me are my favorite. Totally pop under the RB's. thanks bro!
