Its plumbed as a SKIPPY,as far as center down pipe and swirl bars. but theres an aeration grid powered by a 40 watt air pump... for a smooth "boil" of the media. didn't get pics of the aeration grid or downpipe plumbing..
this filter should handle quite a load... I will post an action pic when I can.
