Made a video to show how my sump/prefilter is set up. I get asked about it often and I figured this would be the easier way to show people. Let me know if you have questions.

I still haven't cleaned my poret foam but I am thinking of changing it tomorrow but checking nitrates level right before a water change. Should prove interesting.

i just re did my configuration, your video game me an idea for horizontal use of foam. used a scrap piece of 10 ppi horizontal on bottom as base, then have 2 gallons of matrix on top of that. trying to get better utilization of matrix and sump space.
i also have noticed a build up of mulm behind the 30 in bottom of sump, there was an empty space. and any disturbance made it go all over, hope now it will stay settled in the base foam and under matrix.
if you disturb it, and its anything like mine, your forecast is cloudy with a strong chance to floating mulm!
fyi to others on foam, for comparison, the eshoppes foam compared to the poret foam, the poret all ppi i have 10/20&30 feel about 2x at firm compared to eshoppes. costs more, but not the same thing. poret heavier duty

yeah in mesh bags, will post update to my tank thread.
Checked nitrates before water change. Had just fed BH, hadn't cleaned pre filter or filter floss and hadn't cleaned the poret foam. Nitrates were at 20ppm. That's really high by my standards but considering all the things I mentioned above I don't think it's that bad. I will retest later today. I have cleaned everything today
