Been looking at rotary drum filters and bead filters that don't use blowers.

I think I can have the waste water outlet run into a 50 micron sock box then the water plum back into a D ended seagrass refugium and use bead filters to polish the water that way I can do water changes with the filter back flush.

I can have the rdf high pressure pump use the polished tank water.

I had looked at sieve filters but there 200-300 micron screens where an rdf can be 50 micron.

I haven't touched on the skimmer.

All this may sound outrageous but aquaculture is a hobby of mine and I'd like to oversize for when I retire in a few years and have it all in place.
