Hi, The thing with block filters is that they work really well when you get them right. There are a few things that you must try and work into the filter. 1) A long settlement area. 2) Large transfer ports to minimise head loss, and only have 1 set of these, between settlement and Biomedia. 3) Stati...

Hi, Does the tank have a bottom drain? If not could you fit one to it? Or use a retrofit bottom drain.
