Sand filter unit that I am considering .

 

[CrayolaViolence]

what does it do? I mean, it says sand filter, so I'm assuming it uses sand as a bio media to filter? But I could be way off.

what does it do?

Sand filters are normally used for swimming pools, but also in very large tanks such as public aquaria.

I want to know how you keep the butterflies from eating the sea anemone.

Sea anemones are protected from the butterflies by Clownfish.

Dave. M is totally correct as they are normally used in swimming pools but large aquaria do need a mechanical filter system to keep the water clean and clear .So instead of using socks , sand filters are frequently employed in large aquaria .

An example of sand filters used in large aquaria like this 20,000 gallon tank in long island.

Decided to purchase a hydro wizard ecm 75 from Germany . I placed the order last night and should get it on 24 th November . I am trying to figure out a way to mechanically move the pump up and down the entire height of the aquarium ( approx 3m) . I have spoken to the elevator 's technician of linking the signal from the elevator to the pump's housing so that when a passenger in the elevator presses the button up or down , the pump will move up and down accordingly so as to create a random motion of waves and hotel's guests become part of the life supporting system of the aquarium. Linking the signal is the easy part but to find a mechanical process of moving the pump under sea water ( very corrosive) is the difficult part .
