Great video. I've been thinking about how I want to design a canister filter for my betta's tank, and in my head I was going to put the submersible pump inside the aquarium itself and have the canister inline with the output. I'm going to redesign that with the pump inside the canister instead, as you did. This way there's much less in the aquarium itself, and it looks cleaner.
Also, to those wondering about the power supply and voltage regulator (blue chip with the numbers), you could easily do this more simply with a 5v cellphone charger (no longer adjustable), or by using a pump with variable flow dial. They did this so they can adjust the flow rate manually by changing how much power the pump is given.
Thanks for your comment. This is the filter with small version from big filter of fish tank.Because I can't found the pump mini have the adjustment function . So, I have to use control voltage module.
Just get a sponge filter…
This was an awesome vid. There are many bones one could pick, and they are true: if this leaks, it'll siphon the tank... The silicon will crack over time, I could just buy another type of filter for cheaper, etc., But I don't think those, legitimate as they may be, were the point of the video. This diy project crosses my line of diminishing returns too, by far! I don't have the electrical items, the drill and bit, nor the knowledge OR TIME, just lying around to make this efficient for ME. Nor am I a diy fanatic. But for the masses of people who do, this sharing is a creative idea. The possibilities are limitless. Even an Applied Science teacher would love this! Regardless of purpose or choice, this was super interesting. Thank you.
PE plastic and hot glue..( not silicone..) remain flexible for decades if you keep it inside out of the sun
Additionally, most of the small/nano filters that can be commercially obtained/"PNP", do not provide the quality of filtration which can be manipulated in a DIY construction like this. In a DIY project like this, we can control the amount and type of physical media, carbon/charcoal as well as biological media as we see fit. Just the ceramic pieces he used, compared to any small Tetra, Eheim, Fluval, Aqueon (etc.) Internal or External HOB filter, will provide EXPONENTIALLY greater supporting beneficial bacteria colonies. Again, depends on your purpose, ...and if you have the resources...and necessity is the mother of ingenuity, right? And see, people are sharing links now and have offered insight beyond the education of this video. We might not have agreed with this DIY project nor been inspired to replicate it, but it has indeed triggered growth in our aquarium hobby and a dialogue. Not only is that a "win", but further evidence of a brilliant and influential video. Cheers! Now I'm gonna change water and maintain all my store bought filters haha. And maybe one day look back to this vid for inspiration. "Over and Out."
Wow!
Loved this, what a great hack
Building your own filter is cool and all that, but the hot glue will dissolve over time.
Definitely use aquarium safe silicone
No, it does not, I have well over 35 years working with hotglue and PE type plastics
I'm extremely impressed by your creativity 👏. I have a pico tank reef tank and i want the smallest filter possible. I can buy one but I would love a custom one!.
Ahívá la ostia Patxi que gran invento joder ya tengo filtros caseros y prácticamente a coste cero 🤣🤣🤣🤣😘😘😘😘
Сделано хорошо, главное идея ясна) а по желанию можно уже мудрить и красивей и практичней сделать кому надо))
Awesome skills my friend 👍
Meteoritos hey leo lo terminen sobrevivir l oh up
Forget about the DIY filter.
The tank looks awesome.
I just love hair grass in aquariums.
Adding those rocks made it so cool.
tks u so much!!!
Yeah, cause who gives a fuck about the health of the fish, or having to scrub it 24/7 for the sake of not doing some very basic additional work
That's complicated. I will just buy a mini filter lol
Same feel
There's another method of that and its easy.
I'm watching this from South Africa in KwaZulu-Natal
자작 여과기는 만들기 어렵던데 보고 따라하면 쉽게 만들겠네요 ㅋ
I love this idea but not sure its economically viable I think a larger version may reap more reward I love the engineering well done
Thank for your comment
Absolutely brilliant kiddo!
Главное что эта штука работает и поток можно регулировать) пускай и отвёрткой)))
not a main thing but you must be Vietnamese or at least having a Viet friend hahaha. btw, nice build!
うまく穴をあけてますねえ。ホットボンドはお風呂で使いましたが、時間が経つとはがれてきました。
These are great and plus very informative!! Keep going mate!
Is it automatically suck up the water to the filter tube? I'm sorry for asking, but the things that i know is, the filter will suck up only when the water touch the rotator inside it
Having same doubt...
Very interesting video 👍.
Lol. When I improvised a filter, I only used 3in plastic container, a suction, cotton( I don't know the specific name of the cotton, I bought it in the pet shop), and a pump. It only caused me $8.00
If so, then there would be no good environment for microorganisms to grow to filter the water
Well, it actually filters the water, it keeps my tank clean, I'll just have to change the cotton when it turns dirty. It was actually thought by a vet in the pet shop, and it was effective.
@@diyformyhome2265 is actually right... Check your water levels, although your water looks clean, it's probably filled with toxins.
that won't filter out the ammonia and bacteria, just algae, waste, and dirt, you need some sort of biological filtration for your water quality to be ideal
Great idea and done well. I have a small AC pump that size, dont think i need to set the speed, should work?
Thanks
My pump has used 3-9 Voltage DC /3w.
I really do not want to use AC power to run pump.
I mean it very dangerous when the electricity is leaking.
Very very very nice video sir
Thank you so much!
Very good, nice little project.
I was with this till you brought out a computer thingy
Respect, but I would buy a filter for little money
I enjoy thé making of sfuff more, and you learn a lot about how things work.
What I’m doing is I’m going to do this but on a much larger scale and use it to filtrate multiple tanks at once and hide it in a cabinet
@@martyw2f879 That‘s a good Idea and would be worth it
Very cool idea! Is the pump a 12v dc pump?
Yes, This is the pump use 12 VDC
Does this need to be in a water tight container or can I have it on an open bucket?
If you have it on an open bucket ,You can not finish it, It must be completely watertight.
Thank you. If I was to use a bucket, like a mini sump, I would need to match the flow of water going in and out of it?
@@misterEstrange Yup, wouldn't be hard to do, just a little more cost than if using pressure
Ken Ort would that mean I need two of the same pump?
@@misterEstrange that's just risky though... Because even a small discrepancy can cause a huge mess
There's no description of this video..Which type of pump you used for this equipment

hot glue isnt a water seal
Watch properly. He doesn't use any hot glue on the filter. its silicone glue.
@@waddefaq4325 it is hot glue ??
From what i saw it is Hot Glue, But wether its water seal or not I do not know.

自作オーバーフローですね。
面白い。
Seems to be built upside down..... You have to take it completely apart to change filter pad.
Nick ye that’s what I thought xd
@@jenson1569 I guess you could use a sponge pre-filter on the intake, but he wasn't using one. I see a simpler, more efficient, pump in tank version.
Nick might as well spend the money on getting a small hang on the back filter that’s reliable and is unlikely to flood the house
@@jenson1569 Right, I use internal filters. I built an internal overflow wet/dry That I used for 12 years.
Nick Internal overflow filtration is something that is unlikely to leak/fail for a while if done correctly but something like an external canister filter which I’ve used myself is bound to fail sooner or later, if you look at the reviews from people who’ve used them they often leak in less than 6 months.
Amazing 😉👍🙋🍃
I am confused about inlet n outlet. Plz explain me. I want to built it for my betta planted tank
A lees box filter costs 6 dollars...js..very cool though
Hot glue will not last a long time and when it leaks, it will be messy.
Yes, you're right, I have to change this hot glue with AB epoxy glue after some weeks!
How u made the aquarium rimless neeed a video for the perfect tank makingp
Great DIY 👍👍!
Awesome job but very complicated work for a simple homemande aquariun system. Thank you for sending
the vídeo.
What are the blocks that you place inside the containers? Are they just normal rocks?
this is rocks, soil for aquarium only
hi i'm new to your channel.. i just want to ask what are the name of those materials you used? especially those plastic screws please?!

How does the intake hose suck the water into the filter? Trying my own model and and hang figure it out
First use your own steam to draw water into the filter!!!
great idea but irritating song
Aquarium nya bagus
Or....buy a pump filter for $10..this build cost more than a store bought filter and pump.
Canister is better
Its just fun. Don't think this is interesting? Dont comment. Or just leave thanks.
Does anyone know what the fitting he is using to pass the pump wire through? It looks like the dry side has a nut that holds the wire in place, providing strain relief. Anyone know where I can get one in the US? I'm modifying this project into a nano tank chiller using a spare Ice Probe I have. There isn't any room for it in my tank so an external solution is the only choice.
whoever suggest a hang on the back has no taste. foh. you can make a stand that holds in the filter and all you have is the tibes. showing. much much cleaner.
Thank for your ideas !
Świetny pomysł 👍👏
Brilliant idea
What job is this electric circuit and where to buy it..Regards
It's cool and all, but I mean come on you can get a sponge filter or box filter for like 5 bucks
Thats brilliant, thankyou
Instead of all these headache buying a hangon filter is better
the current is a bit strong for those poor lil fishies
it should work by putting the pump into tank directly
這樣不會吸到魚嗎?
i like So much 😍😍😍
its so great video new subscribed stay safe have a great day
Wont it leak using only glue gun and not silicone?
Because the aquarium is too small. The water pressure is not great. so I made use of everything I had available.
But the silicone or AB glue will better
Excellent
Super nice
did pump water from tank or goto tank?
Скажіть будь ласка,що за рослина.
"Eleocharis acicularis plant "
Я не думаю что это надежно...
Да и где микросхему брать? Нужна ли она вообще.... Не каждый повторит из за этого....
это обычный преобразователь напряжения. если с насосом в комплекте блок питания, то эта плата не нужна.
Just remember kids. Keeping fish in this small of a tank is animal abuse.
Not if you do it right
Did the animal tell u ? How do u know ?
Kreatif bangettt 👍👍👍❤️👃
Bisa diaplikasikan, ini caranya bisa diikuti
How do you clean the pump ?
What kinda glue is that?
Nice thks
Is it good to use hot glue gun in water...won't it harm the fishes
What is the name of the floating plants
Limnobium laevigatu!
Pesen komplit itu bisa kak?
Saya tinggal pasang saja... 😁
What are the plants on the surface
I cant do this kind of engeneering i will buy a normal top filter😊😊😊😊

Would have used aquarium silicone or a GE #1 brand since that's safer fish!
Tks for your suggestions, when I finished it, I soaked it in water for a while, then added it to my aquarium. because I always want my fishes to be healthy
Yeah that hot glue may not hold up in the long run. If it lets loose you will have leaks.
I don't care about companies, I care about experience. I used Red Devil brand 100% silicone (just make sure it doesn't have mold and mildew inhibitors) to seal all of my tanks, and they're doing fine for a couple of years now and not killing anything to the best of my experience. Just because someone recommends something over the internet/youtube because they had good experience with it doesn't mean it's the only product that will work.
@@WhatIsMisophonia I have been doing this for like 12 or 13 years now I know what I am talking about when it comes to holding up in the long run I have and had tanks from when I was 13 or 14 years old that will still hold water to this day ahah maybe I am some stranger on TH-cam giving advice but it's his opinion to take it or leave it^ I had many more experienced people teach me a trick or two its does no hurt to know...
@@JasonFolk07 Ooook... My point is, unless you've tired anything else beyond what was recommended, your experience is still limited. I've heard from people who have used other brands for many years and it worked fine for them. I'm not saying your experience is invalid; I'm asking you not to invalidate the experience of others.
good idea! i would just tell to use propper silicon, not hot glue, it will get all white and brittle soon and leak!
Been building DIY aquarium safe filters and accessories for 38 years now. Hot Glue doesn't get brittle and if done correctly doesn't leak either. Give this guy his chops, he just built a mini canister which you can't buy in this size for less than an Azoo turtle canister. and it has adjustable speed on the motor. So show me a canister filter with a brushless DC pump motor with variable speed?
@Runer Warlock is this hot glue toxic for fishes?
I pity the poor souls that will never know the joy of building something by themselves.
There's not that many people who know how to do electrical like this. Or that have the necessary tools with which to do so. I couldn't survive without my drill or glue gun nowadays though. 😁
But yes, I agree with you. The sense of accomplishment is like a drug but ten times better.
lol im just here bc it was in the up next thing lmao
By the time u buy all that shit I’ll just buy one for 20.00 lol
For real or you can just buy a sponge filter…
Technically beyond my skill level but great DIY!!
*Watches how the guy cuts the filter cable*
*Close the video*, too hard for me
U can use the qr50 pump for easier :)
Lmao , same
This is an interesting comment, i like it.
@@diyformyhome2265 Are you in the U.S.? I suspect not. I'm no electrical engineer, but I suspect that there are a number of "plug-and-play" small water pumps available for U.S. viewers.
@@VyvienneEaux Yes, I'm not US. Where I'm living, there aren't many mini devices for quarium.
This is a good idea if you want to taylor a filter to suit your particular needs. As for those internal filters others are talking about. The ones I had were always breaking down.
Y'all need to tell me where you're getting your cheap filters instead of hating on the video.
All that you can earn in the supermarket. So, pls dont hate it!!! 😁
I can't find an affordable filter anywhere! Hence watching this video XD
@@kerielwatson3197 www.chewy.com/tetra-whisper-internal-aquarium-power/dp/133159
@@goldensnip3r263 is a poorly designed filter with really bad filter media that plugs up frequently.
@@goldensnip3r263 I found that one was nice to use as a plant pot not a real filter.
Good job on using endlers and not goldfish, many videos use goldfish or bettas in small tanks like these which I think is cruel but I think your choice of fish is AMAZING, good on you for that 👍🏾😁
Thank you so much!!!
shouldn't the water pump sit at the bottom on the container so it actually sucks the water down to the bottom where the media is? This set up looks like the water goes from the tank to the top of the container then back out. It doesn't seem like it pulls water through the media.
Someone let me know if I'm wrong because I also plan on making one
The water will run from the fish tank to the bottom of the filter, And the filter will be filled by water, After that the water will be pushed back to the fish tank by the pump again
I need cooling for the pump. Because of that, I put the pump at the bottom of the container.
If you happen to have everything on hand, this is pretty cool. If you have to buy everything, there are less expensive small cannister filters currently on the market.
Yes, I totally agree with you, But, My place is only a small town. I cant buy the little filter for my fishtank.For that reason, I have to reuse everything I can find near where I live, Sometimes DYIng something will be more expensive than what we can buy. but it really is not crucial because DIY is also my interest.

You had a good idea but you made a horrible video stop putting on the trash background music and put in some step by step commentary so we know exactly what's going on.. you can do better do better, I don't know how it ended I couldn't take the music had to opt out
The flow must be reduced....the fish fry r finding it hard to swim.....nice effort
Ya know for the price of all that raw material you might aswell just buy a proper filter that is made with aquarium safe products. They are not expensive and can be adjustable aswell.
where I'm living, I can only get a large capacity filter, so I made this small filter for my small aquarium.
When you love aquarium life there is no qualified way to pursue. then you must be diy to satisfy your passion.
Why you used hot glue? Silicone is best way to seal all the parts. Anyway good job.
@@Kazdy_moze_gotowac glue is silicone
@@Kazdy_moze_gotowac hot glue works just fine in this capacity
Использовать термоклей для герметизации - это провал. Через неделю потечет. Нужно использовать аквариумный герметик.
А лучше прокладку
как насчет эпоксидного клея
@@diyformyhome2265 Лучше силиконовый герметик. Эпоксидкой невозможно склеить некоторые пластики(полиэтилен например), и отвалится от того, что хоть немного гнется, как в данном случае.
Согласен насчёт термоклея - капрон вообще очень сложно чем-то склеить, ну а термоклей не склеит его вообще.
Ещё хочется добавить, что использовать синтепон в таком фильтрике нецелесообразно - он очень быстро забивается и требует вскрытия фильтра и замены на новый. К тому же верхний кусочек может засосать в помпу, что в свою очередь приведёт к её остановке со всеми вытекающими последствиями.
Awesome, great idea , nice creation bro.
