Idea! (with diagram!)

for the filter i was just thinking for it to not filter the water constantly, just not spit dirty water into the tank



would it be wise to some how pressurize the filter? or it doesnt matter

Interesting idea, but I think the real issue with it is water volume. In order for the water to soak through the substrate and to the pump/sprayer system, you would end up with a swampy mess of substrate. Depending on the substrate used, it could take a long time for the water to trickle through the substrate. This could lead to mold and odor issues, not to mention a burned up pump/filter.

The idea has promise though!

what are substrates that drain quickly?

I'm still new as well, so whether or not this is the best to use or not, I'll throw it out there.... We use water and medium smooth rocks as substrate (large enough so that they don't get eaten). We use a water pump to continually move the water through the rocks and have created a slope so half of the tank bed is dry.
