Hi,
I need some directions to build a 125 gal wet/dry filter. I've heard that you can use a simple 15 gal tank for the sump.Oh yeah also im pretty stupid when it comes to building stuff so it cant be super complex. thx in advance. :p

See the link below. This is the one I designed and currently have in operation. It is very simple and inexpensive and works great.

Try here, there are several projects.

one that i was helping someone build was pretty easy. You basically took a 10 or 20 gallon tank, and using a system of bulkheads the water would flow through the first chamber where it was heated, into the second where it ran through the skimmer, and then was forced over a second bulkhead through a charcoal bag. after falling into the last section it gets pumped back out to the tank. Several plans use this same system on the link above.
Total cost was about 40 dollars, not including the skimmer and heater.
