Nice design, but with that huge pipe you're wasting a good opportunity. Biomedia works best remaining clean as possible. Using a wider container, you could then have several layers of sponge filters fill the entire container....THEN fill the pipe with the biomedia, this way only clean water would be hitting it. Also, the air bubbles hitting the media would also be cleansing to keep anarobic bacteria from infecting it.
The only thing I would do differently is, instead of the filter pad being on top holding all the garbage in the bio media, I would line the container walls with a filter pad and put the media in the middle of the container that way only clean water touches the media and it can do its job of eliminating ammonia, nitrites, and maybe even nitrates (depending on the media you use) without getting clogged up.
I was thinking the same thing. I would actually try and stack containers. Maybe he could a huge hole in the bottom of one and put some screen to keep the bio media in and stack that on top of another one that is full of filter floss. It might look a little bit better than putting some filter floss around a container. But there is definitely needs to be something from clogging up all that beneficial bacteria 👍🥂
Put the filter floss on the bottom or along the inside walls so that the media doesn't get clogged with debris. Also might as well run two air stones on that double pump. 😊🥂👍
it actually work for my 24 aquarium.....just doing a few adjustment.....with 3 layer.....sponge, bio media, sponge......at the bottom i put the small hole around and fill full sponge......after that i setup 20mm pipe, putting second layer with bio media, and sponge at the top.....close the canister......and im not sealing the top canister......i just running aquascape shop and wish me luck.....by the way this idea save me a cost a lot......
Very interesting, I just wish there was some detail as to what is being implemented. It appears to be an air pump only and its being used to create an upward vacuum which pulls water through the media and airates as well, would this work with more dense media? Few helpful details under the video would go a long way. Thank you!
It's a nice build. Just do your best to be creative and make wood you need work for you. If you have a super big tank you could probably pull this off using a 2 l bottle and stacking them together maybe three of them using the very top one to hold the pipe.. idk 👍🙏🥂
I would be to cut a piece of filter sponge/mat to size and rap around the inside covering the holes to provide mechanical filtration before the biological filtration, otherwise a good filter.
@Do thuan My thuat khi sục khí bong bóng nước nổi lên sẽ tạo áp lực để đẩy nước ra khỏi ống nhưng áp lực nó khá yếu và lực hút ko mạnh cái này chỉ thích hợp cho hồ nhỏ. làm cái ống nhỏ bằng 1/2 bịt đầu trên và đục vài cái lổ ở trên và ở dưới nước thì lực hút chắc sẽ mạnh hơn sẽ tạo dc dòng chảy ngằm với sục khí và lọc nước sẽ hiệu quả hơn
So the Biomedia gets flooded with unfiltered Water. You should allways let the Sponge do the first Filtration that the Pores of Biomedia dont get extremely dirty.
Was going to make this same observation myself but you beat me to it. Simple fix would be to cut a piece of filter sponge/mat to size and rap around the inside covering the holes to provide mechanical filtration before the biological filtration.
your bio media should have been above the filter floss because right now all the debris is going to clog the bio media as its first in line. Also I'd say instead of hot glue, silicone (aquarium silicone) should be used to hold better. Good general idea but honestly not worth all this effort to build something for such a low rate of filtration. Filters can be had pretty cheap with pumps.
This would be great in case of a power cut. Put your media from your aquarium filter into this and connect to a usb charged air pump and keep alive until power is back on. Will definitely make one as an emergency back up.
@@davidschmidt270 Sorry for the late reply - basically whats being done here is not all that different than a sponge filter and an air pump. You can get a large sponge filter for $15 and obviously you'd need the air pump just like in the video.
@@svtcontour sponge filters are very cheap on Amazon as well. I see them for $5 sometimes. Depends on the size I guess. What this filter has the potential of is similar to some I've seen using k1 media. The sponge filter should always be first though and then the biological so you can actually stack one of these on top of a sponge filter and get better results. The only problem being room inside the tank to do all of this 😂
Those are ceramic rings and possibly ceramic balls they sell at most pet supply stores. You can also use volcanic rock that you get at a local hardware or garden supply store
Not done to make holes that high up. Only at the bottom and low at the side you want holes. In the way you do this the water is running partly over the big filter mass but mostly only over the cotton. You want all the water passes all the media not only the cotton.
How did the water pump out with just an air pump? Im confused. No water pump installed only air pump but the water is still pumping out. Anyone can explain?
You can hook up sponge filter directly up to a powerhead. I've never tried to do it with ceramic media it might prove interesting give it a go and post the results 👍😊
Det är ju helt briljant, vilka öppningar för energibesparing.
Fantastiskt!
Brilliant. I did this. 100% working. from Sri Lanka
Now I got this idea very much appreciated.

Is this set up can be used with 3watts airpump?
Congratulations! You have invented an airlift filter :) But implementation is interesting

Great idea but a smaller diameter lift tube will give you MUCH better flow rate. The large diameter pipe will be limiting pressure from the air stone.
The best video ♥️
Very simple and effective technique
quá ok luôn 🙋♂️👍🕺🏼💃
Wahhh keren ini ide nya 👍👍
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Parabéns, vídeo fantástico, nunca havia visto isso antes, maravilhoso projeto 👍!!!
Realmente, nunca imaginei que um compressor de ar pudesse causar este efeito.

Bạn bỏ cái bô ý đi và để nó ở lơi chảy ra. Nó hiệu quả hơn nhiều và vệ sinh nó cũng rễ hơn đó
Thank you very much Indonesian friends present

Can I have your pump pic
Now I got this idea very much appreciated. Thank you
cám ơn bác đã chia sẻ kinh nhiệm hữu ích cho e lắm ạ
Thank you. Follow exactly the vid and just less than 10 dollars, I have water filter and air pump.
Very good ❤❤❤
Thank you very much it works😍
is that working ?
@@sanjayamanoj2734 even i have that issue mcn
Best bro😜
I want to ask becoz i dont know. Does the air ball suppose to be sucking the water or pump out oxygen.
Super ,Amazing, fantastic
Nice making ♥ from India
I am from India in keralla
Luar biasa sangat membantu sekali bang,

Don't you think that filtration is kinda bit small for that pond?
This is really neat.

After all the comments people like us have made surely the author of this video has redesigned the unit 😊

Ummm....I know your comment is a yr old but....I was wondering where one might get some cheap pumps and filters????

Quá tuyệt vời 😍😍
What are the white stones you put in the bottle for filtration
Those are ceramic rings and possibly ceramic balls they sell at most pet supply stores. You can also use volcanic rock that you get at a local hardware or garden supply store
Is this realy filtering through the ceramic and sponge??
I think only air bubbles running!...
What are that white stones u put in the box called ??
Ceramic rings biomedia at any pet store
I think it will take a long time to filter the water
super idea
could you make it smaller for a 10 gallon fish tank?
Thank you.
Make inspiratif 👍👍
What do you call to the one he attached at the end of the hose. THANKS
air stone u can buy that one on ur nearest pet shop
love this idea
Hey mon nuff respect
Super good..👌👌👌👍
Nice idea.
Would be best if got bigger bio ceramic.
Can i buy this? Hehe it so very nice
Mantap kali 👍👍👍👍
So inspiring
Wow 💖💖💖💗💗💗💖💖💖
God job salam kreatif
Airpump wattage?
Thank you, very good idea..
Do you think it will work if you are using an aerator only? thanks for sharing.
Yes its an air lift system , where u use only aeriation for water circulation
Nice content.. easy to makeit..
Nice 👌
I make DIY filters all the time. That air pumps looks a little small for the volume of water it is lifting.
what is the round thing that connected to the other end of the tube
Tuyệt.. và ý nghĩa tôi đăng ký liền
Uhm..... Is it necessary for us to use such air pump?? Or any air pump should be okay??
Good job..nice👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏😊✋👋🥇🏆
very nice

A little, some helpful.
What do call the little green/blue little ball you put inside the PVC pipe and where did you buy it from
its an airstone
@@alegagang8531 thank you
awesome bro

Creative
nice one, same as bio filter, the filter box should be bigger
Good Is your idea, thank you !
Why you create two holes in cup cover?
Can we increase the length of the pipe
So cool
Thnks for sharing 😁💙
interesting 😄
I think it is a very cost-effective and good idea however i would definitely make some changes..
Like what would you change?
@@angrygoofy2439 bigger bucket and different size holes, perhaps different location.
Wow nice I try this..
Bạn làm lọc nước rất tuyệt!!
Mình mới vừa làm thử bạn qua xem và góp ý dùm mình nhé
Baliktad dapat sponge filter ang nagsasala ng dumi para pag dating sa bio filter malinis na.
I'll try this
Good

Lebih murah mana pke aerator sama dipasang power head?
