These are my favorite types of your vids and what got me following you all those years ago with your coffee table tank! Keep up the great work, glad you chose Sundays for lives as well!
School of lion fish would be amazing. I don’t think I’ve seen that done before. Also, great idea for the filtration on the 2000. Cheap easy setup that can prove to be much more powerful and beneficial than any filter sold on the market. Loved this video dude 👏🏻
Hey there I watch your videos on how to build a aquarium stand. Well I copied you to a T! It came out great! 😂😂. Anyway I have a 125 gallon w two fluval 407's packed Seachem matrix and a fluval 307 with sponges and chemical! Is that enough filtration. When you get a chance please let me know. 😂
Great man, love the simplicity!! So excited about it!! And also wonderful that you already shot this progress so far. Keeps the excitement for next video! :D
Joey can I ask for a filter design were the Pump is at the end after all the media, I have a feeling that running the aquarium water straight to the pump first will get it dirty faster and I’m tryna have to clean it atleast as possible, if I was to make something like this I would have to dedicate a bin just for the filter at the end, then make sure I have piping running from the pond to the first bin, thank for helping me visualize my idea now time to sketch!
You obviously know tons more than me and have your idea, but I would go submerged and fluidized in both set ups. Intake barrel submerged, fluidized in the return barrel.
I need to know. How do you get the water into the first trash can without a pump and or worrying about it clogging? That's my problem with my tank is my pump clogging up.
For cleaning up those drilled holes... ya don't need to struggle... a cheap metal deburring pen when used softly will do that in 1 swipe each side... easy peasy.. and the pvc can be done the same way for easier insert
Love it man, the reason why I subbed to you back in 2017. I absolutely love these types of videos. I’m keeping this filter build in my back pocket for the future.
Those Brute Barrels are so expensive partially because they're food safe and extremely durable. Very good barrels, I use the 10gal grey version for outdoor tomato plants.
You might get more flow from smooth hose, the ribbed ones increase turbulence, which reduces flow. although you may already be at the point of diminishing returns if the pumps very powerful
Another banger of a video Joey! Trash can sumps are the best! 💪🏾👊🏾 I’m really enjoying the way you’ve been making your content lately! Keep up the great work Bro! ✌🏾
Just checking in. Been about a year. Been a sub for about 7. Not in the hobby anymore, but glad to see you still doing your thing. Also glad to see you at 1.4M!
Pollenation is something you do to flowers. Tomatoes usually take care of that themselves. (Outside) Indoors, they may need your help. But not until they bloom.
For the Koi pond in my sun room I wanted to avoid the appearance of aeration in the pond so I added an aeration chamber as the final stage of the filter allowing me to really crank up the air without it being seen.
Call me naive but I'm new at this what does putting water from one tub to the other do what can it do for my fish tank and how does filtering the water like that make it better for the fish
I might've made that bruit. Lol. Wash it before you use it. It has mold release on it. But they are all food grade so you're ok. I mean the can and the release.
interesting filter concept. this should work great, but have you considered what you will do when the containers (trash cans) start breaking down and leaching phosphates, sulfates, and other nasties into your system?
I’m not a big fan of canister filter I bought one before it broke when had power down at my house. Now I just make a diy filters for my 13 aquariums including 2 muck buckets. Just recently I make a diy a hook with garden hose to fill water to all my aquarium tanks. I use to fill the tanks with bucket it takes forever I spend about 7 hours just 3 tanks.
I have a magic eraser under my air pump to minimise the noise and vibrations, if that big one is vibrating the shelf abit you could try putting one under each of the giant air pumps legs. Ps I love watching your videos and seeing you you get excited for stuff you want to do. Have you ever kept Kuhli loaches?
Lol are you all brand new? He's the King of DIY! This is what he does! And he just bought like 6 Fx6'sa short time ago, but they're isn't any filter big enough for huge tanks, unless you get a pool filter.
So, in theory... You could do, a say 9 barrel system of interconnected barrels and filter the entire gallery with a single filter system!! Plus serve aeration and flow given a big enough pump and dispersion! Right?
Did you cover the pump you are using in the Brute cans? If so I missed it somehow, I would be interested in making one of those who are we kidding who knows how many of those
You should lower the lights within a few inches of the Aquaponic the plants look leggy which happens when grow lights are to far away the the plant stretches to reach the light
@@jhaych my tank isn’t drilled so I’d be doing a siphon down into the bucket / can which in a power out situation would keep emptying until the water is below the intake - ie 50-65 gallons if the filter pulls from the worst, most dense water at the bottom. If the pump fails or just can’t keep up it just feels like a flood in the making unless my siphon is maybe 2 inches from top of the tank.
Keep in mind those air pumps run hot and end up blowing hot air into the tank. Please monitor this. When these pumps start to go bad, that is definite first thing it does is over heats and gets hot. This happened to me and I lost a few fish. Typically i noticed 5-10 degrees warmer on normal days.
I have a question for you, why not run BCB baskets in the return barrel? You could make 2-4 baskets and stack them so you could rotate fresh media if you see Nitrates getting higher without losing all the bacteria at once and having to wait for it to re-grow. You could even build trays and use BCB bags and get the same outcome.
You had a moment there where you were talking about your loudest air pump and I was standing in between my computer and the exact same air pump in my fish room and it was like stereo *Noise*
I would love to see a school of lion fish! I had my lion fish for 15 years before he passed. Of course I didn’t know how old he was when I got him, he wasn’t a baby but he wasn’t full grown either. Question 🙋♀️ what do you think about those Ziss filters for a 37 gallon rimless tank? I was thinking of running one of them along with a sponge filter. It’s going to be a planted tank with Apistogramas and a few dither fish. I’d love your input!
Joey DIY appears to happy, passionate, and engaged! In the end that's all that really matters. Thanks!
These are my favorite types of your vids and what got me following you all those years ago with your coffee table tank! Keep up the great work, glad you chose Sundays for lives as well!
Joey MacGyver!!
Every body knows your fantastic with fish and aquariums, but you are also one hell of a handyman too👏🏻👏🏻

Hey Joey what about food grade silicone lube to get them in?
I love your videos man! from the Philippines here.

Customize filters I need to try making some for my turtle tank
28:50 has your garden got root bound? That may be the reason for the slow growth....? Or maybe the light to plant distance?
Good timing. Just sent this to someone who was asking what kind of filtration they should use on their future ray tank.
I love the trash can filters. I have one on my 110 gallon pond. You are so inspirational you've taught me how to do a lot of this stuff
Love the DIY projects! Truly an inspiration to just how cheap proper filtration can be!
Great man, love the simplicity!! So excited about it!! And also wonderful that you already shot this progress so far. Keeps the excitement for next video! :D
Flash backs to the old old diy vids with the way Joey talks
You should put some shrimp in them as another level of filtration. They would do a great job with the rest of the filters.
Joey can I ask for a filter design were the Pump is at the end after all the media, I have a feeling that running the aquarium water straight to the pump first will get it dirty faster and I’m tryna have to clean it atleast as possible, if I was to make something like this I would have to dedicate a bin just for the filter at the end, then make sure I have piping running from the pond to the first bin, thank for helping me visualize my idea now time to sketch!
You obviously know tons more than me and have your idea, but I would go submerged and fluidized in both set ups. Intake barrel submerged, fluidized in the return barrel.
Wow those filters look so easy and effective will give them ago but on a smaller scale
I think you should do fluidized in the first then submerged in the second.
Edit: the two baskets with filter floss sounds like an amazing idea
Pretty clean! Recommend a filter sock in the first input of the filter to catch large debris and let that fall into the floss. 👊
Joey, I know you have heard it before but "thank you" for the inspiration and dedication.
Have you tried beveling the pipe edges a bit and then use the soap to install them through the bulk heads?
Joey, I find that when my airpumps get loud, just putting a few layers of filter floss under it can really make all the difference.
If you take the black cover off that loud pump you'll see there that noise is coming from and you can put some cotton and quiet it down alot I did
will be great for my ponds as they oculd use some more filtaration thanks again joey lov ethe old style diy videos thanks again joey
Fluidized filtration before static filtration may provide better oxygen levels for static bed.
I think I will make one for my water feature outside. Maybe smaller though. Thanks
Fantastic video, would love to see the filter running on a tank.
Nice one for you how to video just found you channel. I’m in the middle of making a bio filter for my pond and was looking for ideas.
Looks great. You can also use a touch to clean up your cuts on the plastic trash can. Careful not to melt of course
Can you share a link to what you buy for submerged media? I bought your book but I’d love a link tree!
I need to know. How do you get the water into the first trash can without a pump and or worrying about it clogging? That's my problem with my tank is my pump clogging up.
The piranha tank looks amazing. Ever consider adding more tannins to the water?
TIDY CAT LITTER BIN Filter is going to go be go!, THank you Joey!
For cleaning up those drilled holes... ya don't need to struggle... a cheap metal deburring pen when used softly will do that in 1 swipe each side... easy peasy.. and the pvc can be done the same way for easier insert
Love it man, the reason why I subbed to you back in 2017. I absolutely love these types of videos. I’m keeping this filter build in my back pocket for the future.
Anyway you can drop the link for that air pump? I have one of those small loud ones and it's time to change it out
Those Brute Barrels are so expensive partially because they're food safe and extremely durable. Very good barrels, I use the 10gal grey version for outdoor tomato plants.
Back to the old skool.....
But new age...
Aaaaaaghgh i love it
I've been using quilt batting in my filters for 10+ years, get it at the local fabric store.
Back to your DIY roots. This is best video you've made in a while.
Keep up the awesome work!
Move the lights within a foot of the plants and keep that gap as they grow. Also slightly over stock the tank to keep up with the plants needs
You might get more flow from smooth hose, the ribbed ones increase turbulence, which reduces flow. although you may already be at the point of diminishing returns if the pumps very powerful
Sunday is my only day off. So that's perfect
Another banger of a video Joey! Trash can sumps are the best! 💪🏾👊🏾 I’m really enjoying the way you’ve been making your content lately! Keep up the great work Bro! ✌🏾

Thanks so much Joey I have your book on the way!
Welcome Back! Your RE-found joy is evident in the videos…..
@19:17 it's a dremel in short but a variable speed oscillating tool!
These are my favorite type of your videos!
Pollenation is something you do to flowers. Tomatoes usually take care of that themselves. (Outside) Indoors, they may need your help. But not until they bloom.
Good timing Joey, this is exactly what I was going to do to my 1200!
Getting me back into you vids not watched much last month or so
Hi Joey great video but I had a thought if you are struggling to find metal hangers then you could probably use picture hanging wire x
Run the hole saw in reverse after first getting the center hole. Way smoother end result.
For the Koi pond in my sun room I wanted to avoid the appearance of aeration in the pond so I added an aeration chamber as the final stage of the filter allowing me to really crank up the air without it being seen.
Soil needs to be at a certain temperature
So find out what temp your chosen plants need to grow and adjust your water temp
Aluminum Bonsai Wire is available in short lengths, 4mm is flexible but strong.
Call me naive but I'm new at this what does putting water from one tub to the other do what can it do for my fish tank and how does filtering the water like that make it better for the fish
I vote you let the doggo help next time he looked like he wanted to join you out there at the 13:15 mark 😂😂
Have you ever considered Matala Mat for fiter media? Common in Koi ponds.
I might've made that bruit. Lol. Wash it before you use it. It has mold release on it. But they are all food grade so you're ok. I mean the can and the release.
Hey Joey I love ur fish tank and video I want to build my own Oscar tank 180-225 gallon the thickness of Lexan acrylic I should use .125 .250 .375
That filter is brutal 😉
Great job thank you for all of the lessons.
what about a diy airlift pump for a drilled tank filtration? tks joe
interesting filter concept. this should work great, but have you considered what you will do when the containers (trash cans) start breaking down and leaching phosphates, sulfates, and other nasties into your system?

Great 👍 video, full of invaluable info on DIY filters for sure. 👍🏴
I would love to see a video of your above aquarium sump. Could you ?
'I was out by an inch'.... Not the first time you've heard that Joey 😂
I’m not the only person who jumped when the pipe sprayed water at the camera right? 😂
Tell me I’m not the only one that jumped when the hose pump hose flew out lol nice jump scare Joey
For the aquaponic plants, I’d recommend putting an air stone under each net cup. The roots might be having a hard time getting enough oxygen
So, in theory... You could do, a say 9 barrel system of interconnected barrels and filter the entire gallery with a single filter system!! Plus serve aeration and flow given a big enough pump and dispersion! Right?
You could. Biggest risk in my mind is disease if one tank gets it all of them get it
Did you cover the pump you are using in the Brute cans? If so I missed it somehow, I would be interested in making one of those who are we kidding who knows how many of those
Consider putting a spin filter.and drain to remove fish pòop.
You should lower the lights within a few inches of the Aquaponic the plants look leggy which happens when grow lights are to far away the the plant stretches to reach the light
Are all those fish tanks in your house or in a out building
I am CACKLING. 🤣🤣 That hose blowing out of the can killed me. Lmfao
Great video, keep it up!👈
Best aquarium tutorials channel on TH-cam
Can you make a video to show us how to clean all of your aquariums pls
Joey can you incorporate Dr. Novak’s BCB Filtration with your ideas , after all, I notice all you care about is the health of the fish
My piranhas I had back in the day hated the air bubbles too! They would bite the hoses in pieces!
I love these filters but how do you protect yourself from a flood if the power for the pump or the pump itself fail?
Overflows
@@jhaych my tank isn’t drilled so I’d be doing a siphon down into the bucket / can which in a power out situation would keep emptying until the water is below the intake - ie 50-65 gallons if the filter pulls from the worst, most dense water at the bottom. If the pump fails or just can’t keep up it just feels like a flood in the making unless my siphon is maybe 2 inches from top of the tank.
Damn yea a pack of lions sound absolutely fenomenal… I can’t wait to see the 700 overhead filter because I need re do my overhead filter
Keep in mind those air pumps run hot and end up blowing hot air into the tank. Please monitor this. When these pumps start to go bad, that is definite first thing it does is over heats and gets hot. This happened to me and I lost a few fish. Typically i noticed 5-10 degrees warmer on normal days.
A rasp would clean up those holes nicely.
I have a question for you, why not run BCB baskets in the return barrel? You could make 2-4 baskets and stack them so you could rotate fresh media if you see Nitrates getting higher without losing all the bacteria at once and having to wait for it to re-grow. You could even build trays and use BCB bags and get the same outcome.
hey joey I have a small question regarding the gallon measurements you use, is it the canadian (4.5l per gallon), us (3.8l per gallon)?
I think no matter what and where 4.5 liters are more than 3.8. Your question doesn’t seem to make much sense
Hell yes Joey 👍 🙌 👏 😍 get more!
I flood my freshwater tanks all the time I do a water change. Glad to see it's not just me.
Joey make sure that the live videos from Sunday will be available as VOD after for those that cannot watch live please.
Just had a shower and got dry and dressed.... And you get me all soaked again!🤬🤬,, 🤣😂🤣😂 LMAO. God bless 🙏
Joey: "Don't look, don't look!"
Also Joey: Places camera pointed directly at the floating wood tank...
You had a moment there where you were talking about your loudest air pump and I was standing in between my computer and the exact same air pump in my fish room and it was like stereo *Noise*
