amazing work once again. This channel is so underrated.
Thank you 🙏
Just discovered this video. Contrary to many DIY canister filters, it's obvious this one has been throughoutly thought! Up to using a siphon as an inlet so it's easier to fill the filter. I have no problem believing it actually works in real conditions.
Yes, it works great, thank you 👍
I have made several Canisters and all sort of filter over the years. BUT, I always had issues creating a good flexible inlet assembly for smaller canisters, today I learnt that too. Amazing video like always. Waiting for more such wonderful videos.
Thank you :-)
Kya usmae apko overflow ki dikkat yi hai?
Awesome amazing superb work 👍
Thanks again for this very useful video. The steps are very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you 😊
Bro such a useful video. I am gonna try it. Atleast it looks better than all those costly canister filters in the market. Best part is that you have listed all the required items in description. Thanks buddy
Very nice. If you would have added fine filter sponge it would make the water much more clean.
Very very very very nice❤😮, 👍 yahan mujhe achcha Laga thank you

Master stroke ….Using gravel cleaning syphon for suction 👏👏
😊
What a pity. This guy is the best in trying out new things and very few subs
Even if one tries hard but does not get the support of luck, he will not get the expected result. And I'm one of those unlucky ones 😀
@@madebykm i dont about you but i am. lucky enough that i encountered this channel it is going to help me in my fist tank... I am new to this hobby 🥰😍
i subbed!
Its the inspiration to make DIY
Thank you
Amazing work bro as usual, you rocked it.
Thank you 😊
It's amazing I want one
Great work, it need creativity to do such things, well done
Thank you very much
Ok this was cool... just needs more filter media. Carbon, polishing pad, etc
Yes, you can add different types of filter media to it as per your requirement.
Very unique idea for an canister filter 👍👍
Thank you
Very good 👍
I don't know much abt aquarium
But यूक्रीटेड a nice
Thank you 😊
Amazing work bro
Thank you 😊
Thanks for making this perfect video 👏🏻👏🏻 I will surely try this one... Subscribed 👍🏻
You’re welcome
Amazing stuff. Keep it up
Thanks 😊
I have made something like this for a pond. The blue pump of the hose though Is on the top. It's quite a big filter so it makes it restart it, if the water is drained.
Since the water pump is out side it gives more room for filter media with a pvc going right to the bottom with an L joint and the out flow is from the top of the filter to create a water fall. It's a random DIY though but works well and serves the purpose. 🤣
That’s great 😃
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
May i aak why you chose to place the Siphon on the bottom and the pump on the top as oposied to thr pump on the bottom?
Wonderful craftsmanship KM
Thank you 😊
love you love you hehe thank you
Happy to help!
awesome video thanks, just 1 question. we have a lot of power failures in South Africa 😩. will the container keep filling up when the power goes off or not????
It will depend on the quality of the container. If a very good-quality airtight / leakproof container is used, water will not leak under any circumstances. So before making the filter, you need to check that the container is completely airtight / leakproof or not, just like I showed in the video. Thank you 😊
Thank you
👍
Hola excelente video. Quisiera saber para qué le hiciste huecos al tubo de entrada? Gracias
So that water can enter the inlet tube not only from the bottom but also through the top of the pipe. Thank you.

Pretty cool good job 👏
Thank you
which silicone did you use
It's amazing I like it bro
Thank you 😊
how will it work once after there is a power cut, as the water input is not initiated by pump and is done by syphoning. will the water stop flowing? or what will happen?
I have 20 lit tank. i will using method in video but i have 400L/hr powerhead. Will it usefull. I am having betta fish.so i need slow flow.
nice! this video made me subscribe to ur channel

Awasome dada 🤩 😍 ❤ ♥ 👌 😢 🤩 😍 ❤ ♥ 👌 😢 🤩 😍 ❤ ♥ 👌 😢 🤩 😍 ❤ ♥

It's Nice Dear, kindly clear my one issue how to clean fish poo from aqurium
Use aquarium gravel cleaning syphon - amzn.to/3uFiBpB
Thanks.
But we used the syphon to make the canister filter now tell me is it possible that we clean the wastage with the same project
Canister filters / power filters cannot clean waste from the bottom of the tank. But if any waste gets near the inlet pipe of the canister filter, the filter will suck it up.
Great stuff!
Qq, Can this be used to any tank. Or is there a certain limit.
Especially with the container you used..
This filter is suitable for 15 to 20 gallon tanks and can be used in tanks up to 30 gallons. Thanks.
What happens if power off...? It will over flow? Or stop suction?
You need to use a container that is 100% airtight or leakproof, then water will not overflow from the container under any circumstances. I have given the link of the container I used in the description, you can check that out.
fata fati...
Thank you 😊
@@madebykm Online me container ka price 750/- dikha raha hai, tum kaha se liye itne sasta me ? tumara ek comment dekha jidhar mentioned kiye ho ki total 600rs spent hua !

This filter make enough oxygen for 2 ft tank
Can i use 30w pump for same method ?
Does inlet flow and outlet flow will be maintained equally or not??
👍👍👍👍 can u tell me from where u got this parts ...........
Please see the description box for details.
Can it make the problem of overflow if we switch off the the current
Absolutely not, I used a 100% leakproof container.
Should i use this in 2ft. Tank?
Yes, you can
Brother main bhi same banane wala hun filter kya iske results achee hain long term main?
Haan, main abhi bhi ye filter use kar raha hoon, aur ye bohut achcha kaam kar raha hai.
Для не большой банки самое то😀
😊👍
Brother user UV light inside the container it will helps to more clear water.
No need to use a UV light, this filter can make the water crystal clear without it also.
@@madebykm in my case used UV light after couple of days only my tank water come crystal clear
👍
Will it work if i try to make it with a bigger water tight container cuz i got a 4ft aquarium😅
Why not? Just make sure the container is 100% leakproof. Also, use a powerhead with a water flow appropriate to the size of your aquarium.
I recently learned that plastic biomedia like k1 media has the most surface area
Yes, you’re right.
Is there anyway to make the tubes longer so you can hide the canister below the aquarium? custom piping with a valve maybe? similar to the eheim filter series
Yes, you can use this type of flexible conduit tubing (Inner Diameter 16mm) - amzn.to/32qklJi OR 16mm I.D. garden hose - amzn.to/3qyPvG5
I have my thoughts to do this to 3 aquatiums of mine (60l,50l and 149l), do you think this is enogh for all of my three aquatiums or do i need more than 1000l(flow rate) powerhead or less?
For the 50L and 60L tanks, you can go with powerheads that have flow rates of 400-500 l/H, and for your 149L tank, go with a 1000 l/H powerhead.
Y u use that gravel siphon that thing easy to break rite?
You can easily cut and use it.
@@madebykm oh
👍
Does it have enough power to put it under the aquarium ? I'm not sure !
It will depend on how powerful submersible pump/power-head you use. If you use a pump with a high flow rate, you can place the filter under your aquarium.
@@madebykm the fastest answering ever ! Thank you ❤
Love you from iran 🇮🇷
You’re welcome
Hi bro ,
I am trying to make a canister using a 6 inch pvc pipe . Not able to find gasket to close it any idea which one we can use as o ring or gasket
This is a big problem, we don't get any essential items from our local stores when needed. However, your can use silicone glue to seal the joints.
Hi my guy, question the black tubes you used are from the filtler itself or you bought them from other place
Those are the garden hose connectors, I bought them separately. Please see the video description for details.
Y cuando se te corta la electricidad rebalzar el recipiente
As the container is airtight / leakproof, water will not overflow from the container under any circumstances. And also you don't have to refill the container repeatedly.
I have made this cannister filter works brilliantly, i have made it using this same lock and seal container, however the water level jn my filter keeps decreasing till the head of the submersed pump, anyone who has made this kind of filter has any idea why this is happening ?? @MadeByKM
If air bubbles in the aquarium water are sucked up by the filter intake, it will gradually accumulate inside the filter, at the top. So, if this happens, you can turn off the filter and open a hinge of the container and let the air out and then close it.
Can i ask what silicone you used please? (Aquarium safe)
I used DOW CORNING Glass Sealant
@@madebykm thanks for your reply? Im guessing its aquarium safe?
Yes, it is safe.
I have a 17 gallon tank with 9 neon tetras. Everything is fine except the powerhead filter. It is too strong for them as they come under immense stress when I turn it on. Can I solve this problem by turning my powerhead filter into a canister filter as shown here? or do I need a sponge filter?
Yes, you can do that.
HI, will this work same for the pump of 2000 L/H??
Yes, it will
But if there is power cut then the siphon will still be working.
Yes
Dada I am from kolkata can help me to making this canister filter
Sure, watch the video thoroughly and check the description box for more information. If you need further help, just ask me here, and I will guide you.
Is it available if somewants to buy from you?
Sorry, I’m using it.
Koushik da, filter pad er ja link diyecho seta ki coarse pad na fine pad ???
Otate akta coarse ar akta fine pad ache.
Plz make PVC piper canister filter & guild of making
Okay
As long as the inlet position is lower than the outlet then the water should get sucked into the filter right?
The position of the inlet should be well below the water level so that the pump can suck the water in the filter. But it has nothing to do with the position of the outlet. As long as the inlet is well under water, the water will be sucked by the filter, even if the position of the outlet is below the inlet.
@@madebykm thx a lot for the tip my guy, I'm making one today! 😤
You’re welcome 👍
Sir will there be any chances if leakage where the connector connects the pipe???
I haven't had any problems, but silicone glue can be used on the joints if there are any leaks.
@@madebykm ok sir thank you
Is airtight container really must.because i thought of using a container which is having a small air leakage in its top cap. Or should i buy a new airtight one .
An airtight container is essential to avoid water leakage. See the video description for the product link.
@@madebykm that one is around 800rs. Can you suggest something cheaper.
I bought the same item for Rs 497, now the price has increased. It is an excellent leakproof container. You can also look for similar containers at your local market/store. Maybe you can get it cheaper than online shopping sites. Just make sure it is completely leakproof before use.
@@madebykm sure..thanks
👍
Can you make how to build a sump video ?
OK, I’ll make.
Bhaiya agr m ek bar ye silicon glue ki tube purchase kru to ye open krna k bad kitne dino tak theek rahega i mean sukhega nhii ?
Agar ise bohut achchhee tarah se store kiya jay, to yah 6-12 maheene tak achchha rahega. Use karne ke bad iska pura nozzle se shuru karke body tak achche tarah se plastic aur cello tape se wrap karna parega, taki thorisi hawa bhi andar na ja sake. Sab kuch depend karega ki ise kitni achche tarah store kiya jata hai.
@@madebykm thanku so much itni achi information dene k liye🙏❣️
👍
The motor you used.. link plz
I used the powerhead of this filter - amzn.to/3rjUKKX
Hey, if I use mini pumps instead of power head then will it work?
Can you provide the specifications of that product?
@@madebykm 18 watt submersible pump . 1.85 mtrs water lifting.
You can use it, but if you find that it is creating strong water flow in the tank, you should use a relatively less powerful submersible pump that is suitable for your tank.
@@madebykm ok thanks
👍

Thanks :)
what will happen in power failiure, filter will overflow ?
As the container is airtight / leakproof, water will not overflow from the container under any circumstances.
ok thanks
