Hi guys,

I m building my own DIY freshwater tank. I have decided on these specs, 180x80x80 cm wid 11-12mm glass thickness. Im on a tight budget so wanna know wot kinda filter shud i go for. I currently have a 300 litre (approx 65 gallon) tank and just a Aquis 1000 canister filter from AquaOne.

I plan on having a planted tank with my current discuss and tetras. can neone help me build a DIY filtration system. Also what are the meanings of these terms and how do they apply to my new setup ---- Skimmers, overflow box, sump, WET/DRY filter......

What is the difference between sump and a filter. Can i build just one sump with a filtration system inside it or do i have to buy a separate filter.

I know i mite sound like funny, but am a newbie and i wanna try building my own fish tank....

Ne sorta help is Most welcome and appreciated.

Thanx
