Swirl Filter Update and Ideas!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2019
- My swirl filter has been working great for many months now but there still just a little bit of solids that get through and I would like to address that. I’m looking for ideas from you guys but I’m also going to be getting a 3-D printer which means I can actually print parts that I really want for my system to separate out all solids:)
Make sure you guys join me on Instagram and DM me for a future video ideas! thefishtankk

why not turn your swirl into a radial flow settler? Rob Bob has some demo video and they do work better than swirls ;)
Been thinking about it:)
Great video.A little tip on the glare. Use a umbrella when looking into glare refection on water.
this setup is really inspiring cheers mate
Scuds, daphnia, and other microfuana thrive in green water. Thats what they eat. If you grow them out in ur filters too there bigger size of 1" its free fish food, also preventing green water
Very cool thanks for sharing
Was the "wrong swirl direction" thing a joke? Because it absolutely doesn't matter.
Is the energy comming out from Sun, just wanted to understand if the cost and output is comparable in cost.
look into those scuba diving net bags and pumice stone ;)
The direction of swirl depends on whether you are in the northern or the southern hemisphere. Look at the way water goes down the plughole from the sink. It is called the coreolis effect. If you have it the 'wrong' way, you are fighting against the effect.
Coreolis effect has not significance for small system like this. It is considerable only in the scale of cyclone, wind and ocean movement. Direction in sink, toilet and other stuff like the one in video depends on water source direction.
What kind of media is in your plant beds??
What if that pipe is all the way down the bottom of the swirl
Will it work better or its better on the top
are you referring to the drainage pipe or the inlet pipe? If you were referring to the inlet (which I presume you are) then I agree it might be better nearer to the bottom.
try using a Bakki screen filter with the socks filter will take all the solids out.
mikehotel02, thank you:) I will look that up. I am really wanting to build something that is more automated. I’ve seen really cool setups using a sieve where the solids go to the bottom of the sieve into another pipe that takes the solids to the sock filters. We will see what I come up with:)
Looks like the water inlet is too high up on the swirl filter. More solids would drop if they started out 2 feet lower in the filter.
What are those rubber fittings called for the pipes to go out?
They're called Uniseals
Great video, blessings
Great video...
Why not add a few prawns with the water plants
I wonder if there are any other creatures you could stick in there to consume more of the crud
Tim Leeder gammarus (scuds)
Nice!
How does it look in summer?
Earl Hickey It turns green a bit but I cover it. Algae grows on the sides of it but no hair algae:)
Just add a bunch of freshwater snail to help you with your algae problems..
steven couch depending on what snail it is they can actually clog up the system.
At 2:42 rather than doing a kill-off of snails - Take the excess snails out and feed them to your fish a few a day. It will help your fish-food bill and the fish will love you for them.
Unless he's raising puffers the fish aren't going to eat them
@@jmboulware if they are small ramshorn's, you might be able to smash then in an Aquarium and some fish will chow down on then. I used to do this in a community tank with tetras.
@@AquariumThoughts you're absolutely right, I was thinking of leaving them alive/whole but crushing them would make them available to most any fish. Thanks for the correction!
Big head video. lol
Hydroponics, what a waste of time. Eat the fish or graze cows.
