Ok were rocking.
First thing. I dont want the sand to be in the Vee, then it will clog for sure as Don states. the concet of the vee was to create an anaerobic zone, but making it slopped will help the detritus slide down. So we need to put some eggcrate on the top, just as we had with ceasars first drawing.
Ceasar the total height of the plenum should be 2 inches, that includes the eggcrate.
Mike the plenum will be flat on the top, the eggcrate and then the screening will do that. My idea on the was to have the top of the vee filled with holes to allow better capture of particles. I think the overall suction would be even enouogh to pull detritus and waste evenly through the flat top of the eggcrate and screen.
Don Does the eggrate/screen going flat over the Vee help eliminate what you are refering to. Remember thier will be no growth below in those zones, so the only thing to look at would be organics and particulate waste??
Wit/Ceasar. I think once designed folk could run it in a number of ways, from full system plenum to just a think layer pending on what they can do. On the modules I dont have a problem thier, but I think 4 inches is way to small, maybe one fot or something?? what do you think??

Hey Mojo, weren’t we at the Spokane meeting talking about you already ripping your 1000 apart and re-aquascaping it? I thought that was a 1/4ly thing for you anyways??? LOL
Hey I am not that bad, lol Once a year maybe lol. Hey think about it though, I was able to do it no problem, now could you do that with you dsb????? hehehehe.
