And so I am....the general plans are from the VERY AWESOME thread from a member back in 2010.
*****(will link when I get back to real computer)*****
This mess of trying to maximize one 4x8 sheet of 3/4" birch plywood.
I would of had it except I was not paying attention and cut my 9 inch piece before my 16" piece and had to use a piece of 16" scrap of 1/2 to make the weir wall.
Pay attention to right hand / left hand when laying things out.
I have pond shield to waterproof the inside and the fish safe silicone for all seams and corners. (72.00 + 8.00 = 80.00)
3/4"x4'x8' birch plywood (50.00)
I have 2x4 sheet of 48 Micron Stainless Steel Woven Wire 300 Mesh coming from Amazon (95.00 - - enough for x2 more filters after this one)
X4 bulkheads 32.00
X4 male adapters 6.00
Handful of 1 1/4" coarse thread screws and about 2.5 hours of time invested in construction so far.
I could have eliminated one bulkhead on the inlet, but this way I can isolate my SLO drain and a surface skimmer.
Output will be added into the side and will tie back into the sump tank which I then pump out of into my other mechanical filter/MBBR to then feed my deep water culture beds for my Aquaponics system.
