A bit more detail on the inlet system. Yes, those are Cambro polycarbonate food boxes with sliding lids....lots of drilling to do!
Each bin has a 4 US gallon capacity, when completed the rack holds 21 individual bins. More detail on those later when I Start putting the inlets and outlets in them.

Slowly coming together!

You can see the up to 800GPH Little Giant three stage filter with integral UV-C lamp in that last picture.

System is pumped by a non-metallic 1/3Hp 120VAC, 720GPH continuous duty unit. More on that later!
