New DIY Nitrate filter started om my 210 tank

Here is a photo of my 120 tank nitrate Pothos filter that made it to an adjacent window. I pulled the drapes back (normally closed) to show how its growing. This is a good example of how dundadundun idea of using a trellis and my idea of using it inside a window would be a good and perhaps even necessary Idea. I think Ill pick up some PVC or wood trellis at Lowes.

PS-Excuse the dust, as you can see I'm in full bachelor mode.

PSSS- If you think the tank and fish looks healthy, remember its been 6 weeks since my last water change, most of the nitrates inside the plant lol.
 
thanks CWO4GUNNER, You're setup really looks nice, and I don't see any dust at all :)
btw won't the vine's roots stick to the wall?
I wish! Every couple weeks I have to brake out tiny finisher nails and dental floss to tie up new stock growth. The dust is on top surface of the tank wood stain canopy cover (bottom photo) where you can see my recent finger marks by comparison.

My tanks are full of dust specially the ourdoor ones.

btw i picked a new plant, i think this is a different type of pothos?
it has longer roots and was climbing over a neighbors wall.

I placed it into my sumps first compartment

Cool, it should grow like crazy in the tropics noticing your from Manila. I still own 2 rice Field platts and 20 coconut trees I bought on the Island of Bohol in 1976 for $230. I never went back but the family I let work it free is still there. What a beautiful place just a hundred yards off white sand beaches.
