Any one using a reverse flow filter?
Filter above water line with an internal water pump delivering water up to the filter and gravity flow back to the tank. I've been thinking about a DIY of these systems and get rid of my AC. -------------------- Know fish or No fish

i use one on my little reef tank. Its a refugium, and there is a pump in the tank that pumps water to the filter which hangs on the back, and the water is gravity fed back to the tank.

most of the jebo , lifetech, newport and china tank setups are using that type of filtration.. but its the simplest ones and not as complicated as the ones they use in asian countries...

I just don't like the water splashing sounds it makes (unless you have an output tube go inside the water) and it'll look weird with this big box on top.

dont forget about the Eclipse hoods. They have a light, mechanical and biological filtration in the hood.
