fish tank picture - Homemade wet/dry filter. Total cost about 15 bucks. Made from stackable storage bins from a thrift shop. Top drawer is drilled for trickle distribution from the overflow box, and the bottom drawer is for bio media wich drains into the sump. Third drawer was not used, but could be inserted as another filtration tier.
