wow! roughly about 475.5 gallons? dakoa ana pre! i would suggest use another tank and convert it into a sump. use pumps for ponds and the likes. search sa google, sump filters. hope nakatabang ko gamay.

that's one big aquarium you got there. you can use micvince's design for your aquarium.

I think your problem lies with the size of your pump.. the GPH (gallon per hour) is too small for a tank your size. bigger GPH pump and more filter media should be able to improve your design. maybe add a UV sterilzer to get rid of green water. since it's outdoor...


oh yeah, naa na ceramic rings or bioballs they're for your bacteria colony (biological filter) sponge and filter wools are for mechanical filter.

by the way, your aquarium is only about 200 gallons 900litres


ambot ngano naay us ug uk gallons. hhehe
