What happens here

The hydroponic filtration operates as a two-step process. First, mechanical separation removes detritus (solid waste) from the water column. This pre-cleaned water then enters the hydroponic system where the plants take over the remaining filtration. The water in the entire system is constantly flowing, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fresh tap water first passes through a 12-part pre-filtration system to remove impurities before it enters a dedicated settling chamber. From there, it's drip-fed into the main sump (a reservoir below the tank), then pumped up to another settling tank. This second settling tank gravity-feeds into the main aquarium. The main tank features a waterfall to aerate the water as it returns to the sump, creating a circular motion of water throughout the system. Any overflow from the main sump is diverted to a nearby wash basin, preventing spills and making maintenance cleaner.

Goal: Maintain continuous, clean water flow through the filtration and aquarium system.

Tools and materials

  • 12-part Pre-filtration System N/A — Filtering tap water before it enters the aquarium system
  • Main Sump N/A — Reservoir for mechanical filtration and water collection before pumping
  • PVC Piping and Valves N/A — Connecting all components of the water circulation system
  • Settling Chamber — Initial settling and heating of pre-filtered water
  • Settling Tank — Further settling and gravity feeding into the main tank
  • Wash Basin N/A — Collecting overflow water from the system
  • Water Pump N/A — Moving water from the sump to the settling tank
  • Waterfall Structure N/A — Aerating water as it enters the main tank
  • Tap Water N/A — Supplying fresh water to the system

hydroponics it's a two-step process mechanical separation of detritus from the water column and then you allow the plants to do all of the chemical which there's no chemicals involved chemical or natural filtration I changed the water 24 hours a day seven days a week water from the tap coming to this settling chamber and then it's drip fed into the main into the main sump there's pumped up to this tank this is Oswell settling came gravity feeds into the main tank the main tank then uses a water pump to aerate the water as it's coming down there's a pump on the other end of the tank that aims at the front so you get this circular motion with the water column as it fills up then overflows here back into the main sump and as this gets to full it dumps into my water my watch base without ever getting our
