I just got water in my 90g megaflow and diy wet/dry today, so far its seems to be working good.
This was a reef setup, I downsized my reef and moved it into a new smaller tank. The 30g tank I setup as a sump for the marine has now been converted to a wet/dry and sump for the freshwater. I also built the stand and canopy myself. The metal halides above the tank now will be taken down and going to put my 4x65 watt power compact fixture on the tank. This will be a combination of planted tank, invert and fish tank.
All I did was buy 2 sterilite containers (these http://www.sterilite.com/Category.html?Section=Storage&ProductCategory=144#)
I stacked them, took the bottom 2 drawers out. Drilled about 200 holes into each of the other 4 drawers. Put in a PVC fitting for my drain line from my overflow into the top and thats it. Top drawer will get filter foam stuff, 2nd drawer will get carbon and 3rd and 4th drawers will get ceramic media.
It seems to be working good and quieter then I thought, still makes some noise but not to bad.
