right,as youve said,it was used for marines before you got it? so to me it looks like a built in sump of some kind,if it is this is good!ya see all those empty chambers? well they should be at least half full of filter media ie alfagrog,ceramic,bio balls,sponges etc...if i were you id take everything out of the filter chamber + place in a couple of buckets of tank[very important]water,clean it all in the tank water so you dont loose any "good" bacteria,throw away the brick + anything that doesnt serve a purpose!get ya self a load of new media[as mentioned before]mix the old with newthis will help to "seed" ya new media,check on the pump for a label,on this will/should tell you the make + power of the pump,the pump should be in my humble opinion at least 3 times the total water volume ie ya tank holds 100 gallons ya pump should have a flow of 300 gallons, when youve done all this fill the chamber with media re-insert ya pump bobs ya uncle |
