'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Re: Wet Dry Filtration Systems
All good links .......thanks ....I'll be placing an order soon.
Question, I saw at Aquarium World today, a Charcoal Activated filter pad about the right size for my drip tray, would using that pad be worth the extra money it cost or would it not be wise to use it there for this application?
CFTruth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble.

Re: Wet Dry Filtration Systems
The reason charcoal works is that it traps little tiney gasses in its pores.
So when it fills up, the carbon is not helping any more.
So consider it a throw away filter.
For less money, you can buy cheap charcoal and put it in the cut off foot of (her) old panty hose. Tie it in a knot and toss it in the filter. Remove it when you medicate the tank & toss it when you are ready to use a new one.'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face.

Re: Wet Dry Filtration Systems
CF,
Not sure where you are with this WetDry right now, but when I had one a few years back on my FW 135, I found it best to trap as much particulate matter as possible BEFORE it gets to the sump. So, I had cylinder-shaped foam filter in the back of the overflow around the stub of the plumbing that the drain hose or pipe connects to.
