    SimonSLK's Disign Info WANTED

    Hi after seeking ways of improving my filtration on mine and my gf's saltwater tanks I came across this great site and after many hours of reading I have been taken in by it. So I started looking into different designs and found one that I think will best suit our tanks and which I like the look of.

    Found a video on utube labeled simonSLK's design
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P0ZITI0h6o

    This is the design I would like to imitate/copy so If anyone could point me in the right direction or if I could get more info on this design including measurement DIY notes/pics/videos etc I would be very grateful.

    Thanks in advance Daniel

    You'll probably have to search other forums for him.

    Yes it's nice because you don't have to turn the water off to remove the screen. However I wonder if the top pipe will grow much algae in the holes and clog, and if it's very noisy as it drops down to the second pipe.

    Also I'm sure that he modified his device after the front cover warped. It looks like he made it out of 3/8" possibly, which would reduce warping quite a bit, but if it was 1/4" watch out, that removable cover will warp like nuts, and so will the fixed back side. I would add a horizontal cross brace along the top and bottom edge of each long side.
