To explain the secondary bio chamber better -

Buried Under the rubble at one end is a small flow pump, this creates turbulance and flow through the rock as well as keeping it free of gunk.

The other end where flow is limited is the DSB.

The carbon and GFO returns into this secondary stage which is the water feed for this area at a low flow rate, so the water is circulated many times before re-entering the system.

There is a small weir to the rear of the sump where the water is returned to the main sump

these are from old wet sides we accumulate. good recycling!

Trouble is they move about so will have to think of something more inventive.

One thing I would like to mention is the ATO and how it is direct feed from a solenoid.

BE VERY CAREFUL here, if you install them the wrong way round they will not work for long, jam open and flood your system, mine came with a red mark on the feed side, if your does not, please ask the supplier.

I will be fitting a secondary higher level mechanical ball **** (Oh please!! the word C-ock is not aloud! ref **** Ball Co-ck there ive said it!) supplied by Bubble Magus as a get out of jail card also.
