    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.

    @ashwinaravindantony 2 года назад +3

    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. 🤣

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  Год назад +1

      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 😊

      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.

      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.

      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

    • @madebykm

      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.

    What happens if power off...? It will over flow? Or stop suction?

      You need to use a container that is 100% airtight or leakproof, then water will not overflow from the container under any circumstances. I have given the link of the container I used in the description, you can check that out.

    I have a 17 gallon tank with 9 neon tetras. Everything is fine except the powerhead filter. It is too strong for them as they come under immense stress when I turn it on. Can I solve this problem by turning my powerhead filter into a canister filter as shown here? or do I need a sponge filter?

    • @madebykm
      @madebykm  Год назад

      Yes, you can do that.

      Why not? Just make sure the container is 100% leakproof. Also, use a powerhead with a water flow appropriate to the size of your aquarium.
