@@coachellareefer3118 Were I live I’m not allowed to have pets and I’m too hesitant to post about my tanks. I just have a 30L biOrb Cube with 3 African dwarf frogs, 2 guppies and a male betta, and a 5 gallon betta tank at the moment!
Heat up a nail on the and poke it through the plastic just hold the nail with a tool so you don't get burned..save u on having to buy a tool to poke the bottle with holes.I made a mini version for my 12 gallon drop off reef tank...Thanks for the idea..
Quick critique. Water will follow path of least resistance, so once that floss builds a water bio film on it in a few days the water is just going to rinse past it and not through it. Hence, the media won’t be in contact with new pollutants.
Yes that is recommended but to be honest I don’t use RO water on my tank 🤔 I use regular tap water from my house and don’t even add anything to the water 💦 my tank does very good I just do a 20% water change per month. The funny thing is that when I used RO water from a fish store everything would get so much phosphate and other things build up so I stoped using RO.
So cool to see people getting into the hobby, especially during 2020 haha I got into the hobby just this year.
Awesome what’s your Instagram any pictures of your tank? My IG:Coachella_reefer

I did this same type a while back but used a sports bottle and powerhead
Good job bro
Nice DIY👍
Nice job!
Can you do a part two? - How it works after a couple months?
We’re u supposed to wash the media with RO/DI water? If not, u will introduce phosphate and silicates to ur water column, imho.

Defeating the purpose ^
Did the algae resolve?
Yes it did after 3 days
Name of the track in the back round
Bro a media bag would’ve worked just as fine, maybe even better
My idea here was to capture as much particles as posible to have the tank water super clear.
@@coachellareefer3118 Wouldn’t a filter sock be a better idea?
Yes I also have a filter sock but they get clogged too fast so the carbon works better for me.
@@coachellareefer3118 I see, I personally run a media basket which is almost what you built here. I don’t like the idea of filter socks either tbh
Lol
