DIY Aquarium Filter Box With Spillway
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Water feature and spillway are an integral part of any pond. However, it is rarely used in an aquarium. I have used the concept of filter with water feature from outdoor ponds in an indoor aquarium. This video is a step by step tutorial of how I have built an aquarium filter from a planter box and used dustpan lip for waterfall spillway.
Filter can hold at least 1kg of bio media and 2 layers of mechanical filtration. I have used ceramic rings as bio media and fine/coarse foam as mechanical media. DIY aquarium filter is tested with a 800 LPH water pump with a lift of 40cm. You can also read a detailed step by step tutorial on my website www.fishaholic.net/2021/08/di...

I've watched heaps of DIY filter videos, this is by far the best. I very much like that it can hold so much media. Also as it's above the tank, if the power goes out, it won't syphon water all over the floor and as the pump is submerged it will simply restart when the power returns. So useful. Where I live in a smallish town (Albany, Western Australia) aquarium equipment is a bit hard to find. Except for the plastic planter I've already got most of this stuff lying around at home. Thanks mate!

These are new pumps I saw on Amazon, there are quite a few sellers and brands. Look for pond pump with led lighting. The one in video is 800 LPH and led lighting is attached to the pump.

If your goal is for people to make this for themselves then you should explain what hosing, fittings, adhesives etc.

Gotta be careful with the type of plastics used. It has to be food grade for water to be consumed or fishes to live in. Non-bpa, etc.
