Hi Friends !

I've attached the pics now -

The Description is as follows -

1. Top of the Tank showing that the Tank is covered by 2 parts - The one to the front holds the lights and the narrower section at the back is the Filter Compartment that I'm talking about.

2. Filter Compartment Opened, showing the baskets inside (there are 3 sections totally.

3. These are the baskets that are inside

4. One of the Baskets removed - water will pass these baskets and flow under them - thru this section

5. Water flowing from the 3 baskets reaches the end which has these - A Big Hole, and a gap (I guess its for preventing overflow ? I'm not really sure)

6. This attaches to the big hole (described above) and will be submersed in the tank water. Water flows thru this into the tank.

I hope I've managed to describe the pics properly...

Now, I request you to kindly guide me if I should be using this facility as I've described in my original post in this thread. I plant to do the following-

1. I'll place a single layer of Pot Scrubbers in each of the 3 baskets.
2. Water from my Eheim 2217 will be sprayed in to these baskets.
3. Water flowing out of the baskets will reach the end and flow out into the tank.

Now, I request you to kindly guide me on the following doubts that I have (Kindly try to answer and help me point-wise so that I can understand better-

1. Should I use a single layer of pot scrubbers or 2 or more will be better ?

2. Do I place any fine filter media above the Pot Scrubbers or do I just let the water fall on to them directly ? I guess the water coming from the Eheim 2217 will be clean enough ?

3. I guess not all the portions of the pot scrubbers will get wet, as the spray bar will let small jets of water - is this ok if some parts are dry and some parts are only exposed to the water ? Will the bacteria still grow and help in filtration ?

4. Can I place a bag of Activated carbon in one of the baskets (above the pot scrubbers) - I mean will the carbon be still effective because water will just be flowing over it and wont be forced thru it.

5. I guess this will reduce the water flow current in my tank - Is this ok ? I mean is water circulation importnat ?

I request you to kindly guide me on this issue - I'm really confused if I should go for it...

Please help me and guide me...
