Jesse, very nice work, it is always great to see these ideas come together. You had mentioned that one that I had did not have the ideal Filter sock area, now I see what you mean - good work. I do have a question, my mind is stuck on the Fuge area and maybe the pic does not show that area well. Water In Water Out, I'm confused a bit on this concept, meaning it looks like the water flow will reach equilibrium, little in and little out? Does the black flow plate have a raised edge at the bottom that does not show in the picture? If it does not then the water column must climb to over come the black flow plate at the top but then what - equilibrium? What am I missing?
Cheers!
