DSCN0306 Adjustable Flow Control and 20 FT Bio-Filter-Digestor

Bio-Filter extends to the North 20 ft to the water access manifold.
The Bio-Filter is tightly packed with red lava stones and is currently mounted with a decline of about 1/2 bubble down. I need to raise the whole unit about 6" to allow improved distribution of water to media beds.
I have yet to provide access ports for worm insertion and venturi addition.
It turns out that the Bio-Filter is unable to keep up with maximum pump flow, requiring limiting flow to the tank.
When I raise the Bio-Filter I will reduce the height of the Bio-Filter input by 6" and add an overflow shortcut return to the sump.
