Talking TT's for around $500.00
I put these together over a year ago and they have been performing beautifully. I have four levels that are filled with Lithaqua and Matala matting. This system was designed for 3 thousand gallons, it is always in full sunlight and has a big fish load. The water is crystal clear.

No, the ultima is not included. It is just the trickle tower and the media.

I didn't think the ultimas are included. I was wondering how big are those ultima filters?

thanks for the matala sheets, they're working great in the biofilter so far.

Sorry, I misunderstood. They are Ulitma 6000 filters.

JR,

What Henry C, and may others use is the gray StakPak crates made by Orbis. One retailer is US Plastics.

StakPak CrossPak™ System - US Plastic Corporation

the taller of the larger creates is : 48 1/2" x 15" x 11"
the shorter one is : 48" x 15" x 7 1/2"

I use the shorter ones to distribute or collect water.


From the photo...these could be the Orbis crates.

MCA beat me to it. Those look like the same containers I used for my shower.

Right! I knew I saw those containers before but couldn't remember where? Henry they were on your pond building series I think? I remember this website that MCA posted. Thanks guys. I need to replace the current container I have the BH in. JR
