This is the old centralized system that was built 20 years ago, it is a double feed and double drain system using either low or high conductivity water, it is confusing by looking at the pictures and too many PVC piping, what it does by opening and closing some valves, the overflow water from the tanks could be redirected to two different sumps, each sump contains a 5 gallons pail that is drilled at the bottom that has filter floss, sponge filter and 3/4 full of Siporax filter media (aerobic part of the filtration system). Simple water change is by opening and closing the drain valve to the pail, water will be redirected into the sink drain.
Hi Ronny,
It is not easy to trace the flowpath for this dual system, just think about it as a single feed & drain system, just add more valves and piping to incorporate two system together.

Hi Kathy,
Thank you very much and I don't know how to use the smileys either, maybe one of the Mod. will be kind enough to give a slight explanation.

Mario,
Great interview and nice picture with great looking Discus. I remember see
a filtering system similar to yours at Golbel's Hatchery many years especially with
the Siproax stacks.

Great job on the interwiew Mario. Thanks for the pictures and keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing your Eruptions spawn for you. I would like to see your Ruby LSS.
