Bought a overhead filter, not happy with the performance, decide to make it into a Super-Duper filter!
Materials
=======
Two Plastic dividers cut out from plastic box
Epoxy glue (A/B type)
Glue 2 dividers, and presto, got a 3-stage filter!
Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
Make sure the media is under water and that no light should be present as I've read light would lessen the efficiency of the bacteria to work, something to that effect. Or maybe the light might cause algae to proliferate, which may be useful to you as they too consume extra nutrient.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

This is like having a mini-sump but instead of below, this is on top of the main tank. only problem I can think of, is when the media gets clogged up, the water may overflow everywhere.
Ok, point noted. The overhead filter comes with a black cover. I guess i will leave the cover on at all times.
Well, for any filter, when the media gets clogged, shit has hit the fan!
reminds me of my overhead glass sump filter.
