Biocube Filtration DIY, Could Use Opinions!

[estevenson78]

Greetings friends! I have a DIY filtration set up I've made and just want to get some feedback from each of you. As you can see in the picture it will go filter floss, purigen, chemblue (arrives today) and the large chamber will house chaeto. It's very similar to the intank stuff, but a lot cheaper. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything! Thanks!

Looks good to me. I tend to put 2 squares of filter floss in mine, you could do that if you drop the shelf down just a bit. Does this fill the entire middle chamber? The InTank one has a 'water director' that sits on top of the tower and is supposed to direct the water flow over the tower.

I used to grow chaeto in the middle too and it worked well. I now have a skimmer in there instead and use an external chaeto reactor, but the chaeto definitely grew well there after I scraped off the paint and put up a light.

It fits very mug in the middle chamber, I’m going to make a tray for the water this morning to pass over the entire filter floss area
