Remember this sketch, well here's the actual tank, I plan on putting much more rocks in(obviously) but thought I'd post it to see what you had to say. Its a 55 gal that I just set up today but haven't had time to completely decorate.

Juan, do you mean how to pump the water in and out of the trickle filter (the box)?

Juan, The clear box on the top right of the tank is called a trickle filter and it has a box the same size right behind it on the backside of the tank. I used a "U" siphon tube which pulls the water out of the visible box and to the box behind the tank. Then I have a sponge filter in there to get out any large debris. From the box behind the tank I use a rubber tube to direct that water to the sump. Then I use a pump to pump the water back up to the tank. Get it? I can post a explanation pic if you don't.
