OK, the object of this is to run several tanks through a wet dry.
the first two tanks are beach sand and the 3 rd is a chunk coral base. the idea of this filter system ( i hope) will work like this
all tanks will have their own bacteria obvioulsy which will all filter through the wet and dry. the water will then be pumped through the tanks again and the 3rd tank having the chunk coral will also act as a filter( being the predator tank).
i have played with mangroves trees but they didnt want to play the game and died, so off i go to dig up some more. i want to make a baffle in the drip compartment of the wet and dry where mangrove mud will be placed so the bacteria can feast in the first stage of filtration. then in the 2nd compartment algaes etc then the pump assy.
this is still early stages yet as i am on leave in 2 weeks and stage 1 of the tank stand will start. there will be 2 more 4 foot tanks to go underneth to complete the set up.
any ideas or short falls let me know. obviously the more imput good or bad is welcome.
