Sump - a saltwater aquarium sump is mainly used to hide equipment under the tank and a place to perform maintenance and dosing tasks without disturbing the display tank. It is great place to hide the biopellet reactor, protein skimmer, phosphate reactor, etc. The sump also increases the total water volume in the system.

Filter assembly :confused:

Hey all
Ok, so i got my new tank, and put it all up, and now for the filter.
I think i've put it together right, but i just need some clarification from someone with a simlilar filter, because the instructions are actually pretty naff

It states its a trickle filter, and its a long rectangle/box shape, with various sections, all sectioned off by a small peice of plastic, the tube runs through the middle of this.
So now i've described it this is what i need to know:

Where do the small squares of sponge go?? :/ Because i found they fit in the compartments snug, but which one?? I have 2 sponges, one is denser than the other.
Secondly, Where do i put the filter media
And help would be dandy




ta guys

oh sorry, i'm really not very high tec
Its one what came with the tank, so i'm assuming it is the right size and what not (although i did get the tank off ebay)

So yea I'll just check:

-runs off to check-

-runs back-
okay, I got the main part of the filter, I'm just gonna copy it straight out because i don't know wich bits you need...sorry again

Ok it says:

Jim Long (i think, its in weird squigly writing), Aquarium pump,
HY-304,
AC 220-240V 50hz,
35w Flmax: 2400 L/H

does that help at all?

and thankyou for trying to help me
