This was relaxing to watch. Love the handiwork. I do wonder however how much contact the water has with the media during the trickling? I thought some stagnation time would be required for the water to get the beneficial bacteria to do their work before it's returned to the tank.

Hello PalJoey. Thank you very much for your nice comment. This Trickle Filter / Shower Filter was made for a small 600 gallon indoor tank that's gonna be used to grow small tosai. When im visiting the client again i will shoot a short video of the tank.

Is it true that trickle filters don't need cleaning except for the pre filter since water is constantly trickling through the media, rinsing it continually. Loved your video and trickle bio filters are what I prefer over submerged filters. Thanks

Any improvements you would add after its been running for some time? How long do you get changing first mechanical filter pad replacing? Weekly replace or cleaned or monthly?

Hello, nice filter, just how big is the drill bit did you use to drill the bottom of the filter, and how big is the drill bit you use to drill the top pipe?

materials list? what was the drill attachment that you cleaned the holes with? What are those bins called? I love the flow meter you put in the pipe btw.

Thank you very much Idle Wolf. We used Alfa Grog in the bottom container. Alfa grog is a porous foamed ceramic material, which is lightweight, strong and inert. It's high surface area makes it the natural choice for colonisation by micro organisms in biological filtration systems resulting in cleaner water.

Hello Matteo, The water is coming from a indoor growing tank with high stock of Tosai. The middle pipes are emergency overflows and also helps provide more oxygen in the containers because this trickle is a closed one. These are reinforced stackable crates and can hold a lot of weight.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays penetrate harmful pathogens in your home's water and destroy illness-causing microorganisms by attacking their genetic core (DNA)." from google. We are trying to grow and maintain nitrification bacteria but why use uv to sterilize?

Also how big are these crates in cm's

Hello, very nice work! I have a question i hope you can help me: I have built a similar filter. I have used only one pipe to put the water in the Filter ( you have used u- shaped) In the pipe ( a straight one) are two rows with holes, right and left. The Problem is that the water comes only through one row of holes for example on the left side comes water through the holes and on the right side comes less water. Is the pump not strong enough? Or is the row on the side of the box where the water pumped up to small? My English is really bad i know, sorry for that😂 Whitch kind of pump do you have used? Thank you
