Great video. MY fx6 intake is waaay too long and the way my aquascape is setup it wants to dig into my soil in the back. I'm honestly surprised I've never thought of this considering I've pimped all my filters in the past, just never messed with the intakes. It is also a great excuse to buy more tools.
Pretty nifty information Cory. Will definitely used this on my 75 gallon tank to upgrade my intake and output on my filter. Respectfully, Carlos A. Gonzalez.
There is an alternative to this which requires no glueing and uses all of the original bits supplied by Fluval (except the rim clamps). Make it exactly the same but do not glue anything together, it will stay put through friction. Just thread the existing Fluval hoses through the pipework and attach the input tube to the Fluval hose in the normal way. Because none of the joints are glued you can thread them onto the hose one piece at a time.
I've watched so many of your videos. This is the one I really needed. My c02 diffuser doesn't fit well with the Fluval hosing that goes into the Fluval spray bar. I suppose I am one of the few who actually like the stock Fluval hosing and fittings. I will be making a trip to the hardware store today to build both your spray bar and this intake. Thanks
I always add a "T" on the exterior side with a 90degree bend up so I can final fill the canister. Finish that off with a removable twist on cap. It also will allow for refilling for water changes. A quick connect hose connector can be attached.
I am hoping you may have some insight on this. I made a diy canister filter for my aquarium. It works but I noticed as it's been running over the past few hours it's about 1/2 empty now. It still is running fine but I am worried it may empty itself. Any ideas what I did wrong? Thank you very much. Love the videos they are very helpful.
I’ve just bought the Fluval 407 for my Juwel Vision 450 tank..and the two hose holders are too big to place over back of tank..any suggestions how to remedy this Cory ?
the fx6 would not fit over the rim on my Aquion 210 gal tank , i cut the clips off the hose clamp piece then made a bracket to keep it from flying off randomly

Is this glue gonna terminate my fish? Ta mate.
Always appreciate these types of videos Cory!
More aquarium co op!!! Omg im in heaven!
You are the man. Thank you!
I've got a ton of these from when I had my fish room running...you never know when you need to use one again!
A towel... genius.
Thanks so much for this video. I'm glad I found you have a 2nd channel.
Always look forward for the content from the Coop :)
Unlimited resource of good info. Love the coop.
Really appreciate all these diy videos

I have done that in the past, what is key is to use a elbow with a cap on the intake so you can easily prime the system.
Love it! I'd love to keep seeing more diy videos from Aquarium Co-op! 👍
Great information! Thanks for all you do for the hobby!
Love DIY projects,thank you Cory
Love the demo. Thank you.
Always great information! Thank you for all you do.

In a pinch, you can cut pvc with a shoelace or nylon string. The heat from friction cuts right through it.
Great stuff man! We appreciate it!
The videos editing wise have gotten pretty good 👍 and thank you for the vids man currently trying breed for profit
Brilliant idea! Thank you
so how do you mount that to the tank to stay nice and straight instead of just kinda hangin
Cool!
Great video. Thank you!
Love this, thanks!
Where's the video of you installing on Murphy's tank, Id love to see that, but can't find it :(
Did you find the video? I can’t find it
Thanks for the video.
Awesome!
You can always use street elbows to shorten the distance between the "in the tank tube" and "out of tank" tube. Less gluing also
great video hope your intake sponges and sponge filters make it to canada one day.

Can you put up the link to Murphy’s set up video please? Thanks
Great help, I know what I'm going to do now. Thank you. 💧🐟🌿👍😊
Always the best
Awesome thanks for the tips
Lol love your videos man I have 5 tanks and counting bc of you buddy thanks lol
Now I need another tank to play with...thanks Cory.
for the intake you could also put on a cap and drill holes in the pipe
I might have missed this, but how do you then set it on the tank and keep it in place?
Great idea!
geat video Cory
I have a question, con you run 2 fulval 207 in series. (in one out to the other intake then back to the tank)
Great video
Thanks
Just got an aquarium co-op shirt for my 18th B- day. Doesn’t even have taco stains yet
haha sweet vid, where in New England are you from? :p "rim is just WICKED wide" lol

do you have decloride water ready because if you fill tap straight to the canister would that kill the bacteria?
Where you finding black fittings? Pipe okay but I haven’t seen 90’s unions at all.
Inquiring minds want to know.

"... so you don't get yelled at..." LOL
Good tip
The video I needed..

Like the black pvc
Never this early for a video. Probs cuz I live half the globe away :)
That thing is colossal. :'D
the fx6 would not fit over the rim on my Aquion 210 gal tank , i cut the clips off the hose clamp piece then made a bracket to keep it from flying off randomly
Nice one
What do you think about keeping clown killifish and orange Australe killifish together? Also great vid.
Ugh i’ve still been meaning to make a spray bar for my canister filter from video you and Dean did over a year ago lol
Trying to find 3/4 to 5/8 adapter then the 5/8 twist on barb 😅 I’m not having very much success here!
I like to use stainless steel lily pipes.
💕👍
👍
👍👍👍😎😎😎
I’m almost positive fluval wouldn’t like this video. Lol
Don’t get glue on that towel. Ruin the table.
Can we get the aquarium option not the swimming pool version geeez this looked rough just watching c'mon
Why not just run it all in 3/4
Cory, this is unfair for your canadian fans! We can’t make this - we don’t have the essential aquarium co-op towel!
This is true lol!
Why do you call it a cancer filter
😅😅😅 "sponsored by fluval, let's make it better!"
I watched this video for some reason
But I don’t want to ruin my co-op towel…
