    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

      The length (height) of which is lower than the height of the top of each box, set at the height you choose to have the water level in each box if there is a blockage.

    @Matthew-hk5mr 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    great and precise job!
    i've some questions:
    - which kind of water needs to be filtered with that? from where is it coming from?
    - if all the small holes allow the water percolation through all the boxes (top-down), is not clear to me what is the scope of the central tube into each one...
    - is there an internal structure which support the high weight? being all the boxes filled with water + stones
    thank you! ;)

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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.

    • @wiroonamorn4469
      @wiroonamorn4469 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great DIY. I am curious about UV light when use to disinfect fresh or marine water. Quote "Ultraviolet water purification is the most effective method for disinfecting bacteria from the water. 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?

      @Tonikoi  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello Philip. The size of the overflow and the holes in the bottom must be big enough for the volume of water that goes through the filter. If the holes and overflow are to small and the volume of water that enter the bins are too much the filter will overflow.

    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

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes the pump is too weak or the pipe and holes are to big. If you close half of the holes maybe it runs better or get a stronger pump.

      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.

      It's an emergency overflow and this way oxygen and gasses can be exchanged. De pipes are 1.5 inches shorter than the containers.

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes emergency overflow and so oxygen can get easy in the boxes because they are closed. Normally I like open trickle filters so lots of oxygen can get in. In this case the customer wanted close boxes to prevent to much splashing.

      Hello Simon, we used around 30 gallons of Alfa Grog in the bottom container, 15 gallons of Crystal Bio in the second container and another 15 gallons in the third container. In the top container we only used a Japanese mat. Google the names of the products and you will find prices and stores were you can buy them.

    Isn't this flawed in that the intake pipe will eventually clog with detritus? The shower exit from the pipe at the top doesn't allow large chucks to leave the pipe. Maintenance must be a nightmare.

      it’s pumice not lava ... huge difference, essentially the same as Matrix, biological filtration, gas exchange, place for chemical filtration and starts with mechanical filtration... but i thought those things were obvious (with any sump)....

      The pipes in the middle are emergency overflows en also provide more oxygen in the containers because these are closed and have no open sides to prevent splashing.
