    This was relaxing to watch. Love the handiwork. I do wonder however how much contact the water has with the media during the trickling? I thought some stagnation time would be required for the water to get the beneficial bacteria to do their work before it's returned to the tank.

    Sir , awesome ....I have a doubt.....what is the purpose of center pipe ....for over flow....?

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  5 лет назад

      Yes emergency overflow and so oxygen can get easy in the boxes because they are closed. Normally I like open trickle filters so lots of oxygen can get in. In this case the customer wanted close boxes to prevent to much splashing.

    Great, now we know how to drill holes but we don't know how the filter levels are organized and what are the big center holes in the boxes used for.

      Hello Gunter. We used around 30 gallons of Alfa Grog in the bottom container, 15
      gallons of Crystal Bio in the second container and another 15 gallons in
      the third container. In the top container we only used a Japanese mat. The big holes in the middle are overflows.

  • @Matthew-hk5mr
    @Matthew-hk5mr 5 лет назад +2

    great and precise job!
    i've some questions:
    - which kind of water needs to be filtered with that? from where is it coming from?
    - if all the small holes allow the water percolation through all the boxes (top-down), is not clear to me what is the scope of the central tube into each one...
    - is there an internal structure which support the high weight? being all the boxes filled with water + stones
    thank you! ;)

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  5 лет назад +2

      Hello Matteo,
      The water is coming from a indoor growing tank with high stock of Tosai.
      The middle pipes are emergency overflows and also helps provide more oxygen in the containers because this trickle is a closed one.
      These are reinforced stackable crates and can hold a lot of weight.

    Hello,
    very nice work!
    I have a question i hope you can help me: I have built a similar filter. I have used only one pipe to put the water in the Filter ( you have used u- shaped) In the pipe ( a straight one) are two rows with holes, right and left.
    The Problem is that the water comes only through one row of holes for example on the left side comes water through the holes and on the right side comes less water.
    Is the pump not strong enough?
    Or is the row on the side of the box where the water pumped up to small?
    My English is really bad i know, sorry for that😂
    Whitch kind of pump do you have used?
    Thank you

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  4 года назад +1

      Yes the pump is too weak or the pipe and holes are to big. If you close half of the holes maybe it runs better or get a stronger pump.

    Isn't this flawed in that the intake pipe will eventually clog with detritus? The shower exit from the pipe at the top doesn't allow large chucks to leave the pipe. Maintenance must be a nightmare.

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  7 лет назад

      Hello Philip. The size of the overflow and the holes in the bottom must be big enough for the volume of water that goes through the filter. If the holes and overflow are to small and the volume of water that enter the bins are too much the filter will overflow.

      Great DIY. I am curious about UV light when use to disinfect fresh or marine water. Quote "Ultraviolet water purification is the most effective method for disinfecting bacteria from the water. Ultraviolet (UV) rays penetrate harmful pathogens in your home's water and destroy illness-causing microorganisms by attacking their genetic core (DNA)." from google. We are trying to grow and maintain nitrification bacteria but why use uv to sterilize?

      Hello Paul. If the Japanese mat has to be cleaned my costumer can take the top part off in les than 2 minutes.
      Front pipe can be easily disconnected so the customer can take top part of the trickle.

    It would have been nice if you would have talked and explained what you where doing and why... all I saw was you put a bunch of holes in the plastic tubs and pipes and added lava rock. but what for and why???? whats the filter for and how does it work????

      it’s pumice not lava ... huge difference, essentially the same as Matrix, biological filtration, gas exchange, place for chemical filtration and starts with mechanical filtration... but i thought those things were obvious (with any sump)....

  • @mirola73
    @mirola73 5 лет назад

    Yep the DIY way, if you've got the volume and right filter media a hell of a lot cheaper but as effective as the bought ones. Just can't seem to get those crates for a decent price, they're expensive !

    What is that tool you are using after drilling the holes? It's basically to make it smooth right? I used a razor on the holes of my DIY shower filter but it was quite time consuming!

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  6 лет назад

      It's a counter sink drill

    What kind of stones did you use at first? They look like what we call "Tepojal" in México...
    Great work BTW, the fact that you spend the time making every piece to work perfectly talks loads about you :)

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  6 лет назад +1

      Thank you very much Idle Wolf. We used Alfa Grog in the bottom container. Alfa grog is a porous foamed ceramic material, which is lightweight, strong and inert. It's high surface area makes it the natural choice for colonisation by micro organisms in biological filtration systems resulting in cleaner water.

      It's an emergency overflow and this way oxygen and gasses can be exchanged

    What kind of Media are you using

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  8 лет назад +1

      Hello Rpapi, we used around 30 gallons of Alfa Grog in the bottom
      container, 15 gallons of Crystal Bio in the second container and another
      15 gallons in the third container. In the top container we only used a
      Japanese mat.

    honstly how much did it cost you

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  7 лет назад

      This cost the customer around $350. $200 of this amount was because of the HQ Filter Materials. If you use cheaper Filter Materials it would cost around $250 in total.

    great design. but you need air movement around the media for the bacteria.

    • @Tonikoi
      @Tonikoi  8 лет назад

      Thank you for your comment Eric. There is a lot of oxygen available for the aerobic bacteria to grow. The water parameters and disolved oxygen levels are perfect and the koi also growing very rapidly.
