Just discovered this video. Contrary to many DIY canister filters, it's obvious this one has been throughoutly thought! Up to using a siphon as an inlet so it's easier to fill the filter. I have no problem believing it actually works in real conditions.
I have made several Canisters and all sort of filter over the years. BUT, I always had issues creating a good flexible inlet assembly for smaller canisters, today I learnt that too. Amazing video like always. Waiting for more such wonderful videos.
Bro you are mind blowing you save my money 2500 this filter is so easy and perfect my 2 feet aquarium really bro I salute you I like your attitude thank you you share this knowledge
Bro such a useful video. I am gonna try it. Atleast it looks better than all those costly canister filters in the market. Best part is that you have listed all the required items in description. Thanks buddy
wow! That is super nice! I am thinking now of ways to modify that so that the input can feed plants and the output can become a waterfall. But yeah awesome!
@@madebykm i dont about you but i am. lucky enough that i encountered this channel it is going to help me in my fist tank... I am new to this hobby 🥰😍
Nice video and great idea for the flex hose. I would spend the extra dollars and get a bulkhead fitting for the suction line, that’s a lot of water to want to rely on silicone
I have made something like this for a pond. The blue pump of the hose though Is on the top. It's quite a big filter so it makes it restart it, if the water is drained. Since the water pump is out side it gives more room for filter media with a pvc going right to the bottom with an L joint and the out flow is from the top of the filter to create a water fall. It's a random DIY though but works well and serves the purpose. 🤣
awesome video thanks, just 1 question. we have a lot of power failures in South Africa 😩. will the container keep filling up when the power goes off or not????
It will depend on the quality of the container. If a very good-quality airtight / leakproof container is used, water will not leak under any circumstances. So before making the filter, you need to check that the container is completely airtight / leakproof or not, just like I showed in the video. Thank you 😊
Had made this similar kind of diy canister but I'd used cpvc pipes and a big sponge on the inlet pipe + partion made of drilled plastic sheet between the media.
This is my favorite DIY video. I would prefer an Eheim Canister but why shouldn't I make it myself, when I have excellent teachers like you. Please give me the links of the things from where you purchased. Even the glue and the hose. I'm not finding those. Also can we place the pump outside the filter. Please make a diy like that.
I have given the links in the description, you can check them out. Also, you can get the glue (fevikwik) at any grocery store. You can get all these items at very cheap prices if you buy them offline (supermarkets and aquarium stores). Moreover, I will be making more different types of canisters in the coming days, so stay tuned. Thank you.
@@madebykm I'm following your method and i have placed the motor at top ( outlet at cap and inlet at the bottom) but the only concern is the tank is at a height of 3 feet stand , will the water reach there ( I'm using 18 w motor) also what's the side of PVC pipes that should be used
Canister filters / power filters cannot clean waste from the bottom of the tank. But if any waste gets near the inlet pipe of the canister filter, the filter will suck it up.
Hello Sir, Thanks a lot for posting this video. I watched the video and made the filter as it is (I have added additional fillers in it). Everything is working very fine. The water became crystal clear. But suddenly the power went off, and naturally, the output of the filter became off, as there was no power to the motor. But the input to the filter remained on because of the water pressure of the fish tank, and it slowly filled the filter completely and the water started to leak from the top side of the filter (from the lid), causing the water of the tank to drain completely. Kindly let me know how to stop the input of the filter when there is no power. Please provide a solution to my problem. Thanking you.....
In all of my DIY canister filter videos, I have consistently emphasized the importance of utilizing a genuinely leakproof container for constructing the filter. Additionally, I have advised viewers to verify the leakproof quality of the container prior to its use in the filter assembly. Numerous brands assert that their containers are both airtight and spill-proof; however, many do not live up to these claims. I have experimented with various brands of purportedly leakproof or airtight containers, but unfortunately, they all proved inadequate. Ultimately, I discovered a specific brand's airtight container that is indeed both leakproof and airtight. A link to this product can be found in the description.
how will it work once after there is a power cut, as the water input is not initiated by pump and is done by syphoning. will the water stop flowing? or what will happen?
No, as the container is airtight / leakproof, it will not overflow when it is off. Also, there is no need to pump it every time you start the filter. It needs to be pumped when the container is empty / the container has to be filled with water.
I have my thoughts to do this to 3 aquatiums of mine (60l,50l and 149l), do you think this is enogh for all of my three aquatiums or do i need more than 1000l(flow rate) powerhead or less?
Canister filters available in the market are very expensive. For example, this is the smallest model with a flow rate of 400 Liter / Hour - amzn.to/3uS9NfX And the canister filter I made has a flow rate of 1000L/H Thank you.

Is there anyway to make the tubes longer so you can hide the canister below the aquarium? custom piping with a valve maybe? similar to the eheim filter series
amazing work once again. This channel is so underrated.

Hola excelente video. Quisiera saber para qué le hiciste huecos al tubo de entrada? Gracias
So that water can enter the inlet tube not only from the bottom but also through the top of the pipe. Thank you.
Ok this was cool... just needs more filter media. Carbon, polishing pad, etc
Yes, you can add different types of filter media to it as per your requirement.
Great work
Thank you.

Hello kaushik , I have seen both of your videos on diy canister filter . Which one works the best ? The new or the old methodb

It's Nice Dear, kindly clear my one issue how to clean fish poo from aqurium
Use aquarium gravel cleaning syphon - amzn.to/3uFiBpB
Thanks.
But we used the syphon to make the canister filter now tell me is it possible that we clean the wastage with the same project
Canister filters / power filters cannot clean waste from the bottom of the tank. But if any waste gets near the inlet pipe of the canister filter, the filter will suck it up.
Great video sir ....

I have 20 lit tank. i will using method in video but i have 400L/hr powerhead. Will it usefull. I am having betta fish.so i need slow flow.
Add ceramic rings , at top instead of bio balls.. more effective
Sure 👍
how will it work once after there is a power cut, as the water input is not initiated by pump and is done by syphoning. will the water stop flowing? or what will happen?
Plz make a video on diy bowl light.
Ok, I'll keep that in mind and make it 👍
Will it overflow if the current goes out ?
Also do we need to pump everytime we start ?
No, as the container is airtight / leakproof, it will not overflow when it is off. Also, there is no need to pump it every time you start the filter. It needs to be pumped when the container is empty / the container has to be filled with water.
Great stuff!
Qq, Can this be used to any tank. Or is there a certain limit.
Especially with the container you used..
This filter is suitable for 15 to 20 gallon tanks and can be used in tanks up to 30 gallons. Thanks.
Can i use 30w pump for same method ?
Does inlet flow and outlet flow will be maintained equally or not??
👍👍👍👍 can u tell me from where u got this parts ...........
Please see the description box for details.
Nice
Thanks
This filter make enough oxygen for 2 ft tank

For the 50L and 60L tanks, you can go with powerheads that have flow rates of 400-500 l/H, and for your 149L tank, go with a 1000 l/H powerhead.
Looks great, new to this hobby, Just wondering how much will this same setup cost if we buy from a brand(Readymade)?
Canister filters available in the market are very expensive. For example, this is the smallest model with a flow rate of 400 Liter / Hour - amzn.to/3uS9NfX
And the canister filter I made has a flow rate of 1000L/H
