If the filtration is happening bottom to top, this will be very hard to clean. Top to bottom is the best as you just need to wash the sponge or fibre media at the top.
Is that media just stones/rocks/pebbles, etc? And if you fill up an entire bucket with them, and have water running through it, will that be enough to eventually just filter out debris? And can you use diy rocks, like driveway pebbles, random rocks found, etc?
You can use in your taste.. I used a set of old mosquito nets at the bottom, with large rocks above it, and a set of charcoals with small pebbles lying on top of all.. it will filter out the the large and medium solid wastes
You use a pond pump to pump the dirty water into the green hose, which releases the water at the bottom of all that media in the bucket, the water comes to the top crystal clear, and flows out the overflow pvc pipe near the top of the bucket
You can improve this a ton very easily: Get two buckets that are the same size, put them together. In the inner bucket drill some holes that are smaller than your rock substrate. Put any fine filter media like sponge or nylon fill into the lower bucket, if you are using it. Set it up basically the same as you have done here. When you want to clear any blockages or clean off the rock substrate, lift the inner bucket out for maintenance - it will strain the water and you can get to any fine filter media to clean it and to clear any blockages.
I've been watching all these videos with people screaming at me so excited about their design this is the best. have a pipe go to the bottom very simple
unfortunately this is not conventional means of filtration and you wouldn't be able to really benefit from it in the long run. this is kind of a short throw together filter system to keep your animals alive until you move them from one Pond to another. other than that they're not beneficial by no means unless you're using a 50 gallon drum. and then you're going to want to use a pump that has at least 8 gallons minimum of flow rate a minute. preferably 16 to 19 gal a minute is the Optimal Performance for a pump using two IBC Tote systems and 1x 50 gallon drum for filtration.. you're going to want to use three or four different layers of substrate including but not limited to Charcoal gravel and some sand. but you're going to want to make a filter system where you can pull baskets of your substrate out rinse it off reuse it or bleach it and allow it to soak and use new material and baskets that are premade. that is the only way to be beneficial with making some kind of DIY filtration it have to be 50 gallons or larger to be optimal

I will also try it helpful video
Good work 👏
Thankyou

what pump are you using?
Lava rocks?
Very nice job!!
Thankyou
Interesting
Thankyou
How did you do it?
Bro full detail video can upload you

@@Gk22632whats inside the bucket lod?
@@marifetebangin390 the bucket Is full of rocks, I’d recommend using lava rock instead
Hey I was wonder what size pump your using in the video
It’s the basic pump, with flow rate of 1000L/hr
You can improve this a ton very easily:

What song is this? Its amazing

@@koinationchannel thank you!
mm of the pipe at top of the bucket?
1/4 inch

How you clean it and how often?
I have upgraded it.. new videos coming soon
Bad idea
