I'm using both types of trickle system with Siporax as filter media, aerobic and anaerobic. Attached picture of some trickle towers.

Colin Group: Members Posts: 88 Member No.: 144 Joined: 15-December 05	I'm thinking about adding one too, slightly stuck for space in my cabinet so it will have to be a trickle tower, good idea to have a section not submerged in water letting both the aerobic & anaerobic bacteria to multiply like rabbits.
