How i built these filters so easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WaC5d14Ij0
How do u decide on the pumps u use? Like how do u know the GPH /LPH rate to use, to prevent ur sump from over flowing or ur tank from drainning too fast
Am a little confused so all the water pumps through and cleans the water all the food waste and stuff put it only looks like you have an over flow so ow do you get all the food off the gravel and stuff go up to the top.
I love the idea of the huge filter and am going to make one I just wanna know how to make it as it it filter from the bottom of the tank. Not sure if am making sence put hope you can help
can other media be ran with this style. like a carbon pad? getting back into the hobby and trying to do most stuff DIY.
Where is he buying these aquarium tanks from?
Do these filter better than sponge filters?
8:50 me after quarentine
This be good for a saltwater reef?
Thanks for the videos! Question, what is your thoughts on running multiple tanks off of one sump?
How can the water flowing down be exactly the same amount of it going back up? Does it have to be ? Won’t it overflow if up is slower?what keeps the balance? Oh the level of the overflow on the tank?
Interesting video's but can you talk any faster?!!
Whats the reason behind using the large brinks?
How do u match the return pump to the water that goes into the sump what if your pump isn’t strong enough overflows onto your floor. The pump has to much power there’s not going to be enough water I’m still so confused plz help me
What pump do you use
Video by video im starting to understand more 😉 i have extreme ammonia build up
Joey, whats your opinion on chemi pure?
So the goes into the sump via over flow?
Here's a trick, put a lava rock in a glass measuring cup with a measured amount of water. Remove rock. Did you loose any water? Then it's not trapping any because the holes don't go through. Great surface area, but Joey's deformed balls will wick up water. Which one do you want to use? The one the water goes though, or over?
Is he using a wet dry vacuum on that tank?
Do you think that DIY skimmer you built can go into the Diy sump? And if so how would I place the skimmer in the sump?? Please message me back. Thank you.
I think I would keep the seamless slump
Joe your power is in the effectiveness and simplicity of things! keep it up
But how in the hell do you match the flows from and back to the tank
Joey laced up dude
What size tank/sump would you use for 1000 gallon?
I enjoyed this. I'd do it but have all my tanks separated through the house to make the most of natural lighting . It's given me a few good ideas .
Diy hang on the back over flow box!!! Hope you can do that soon👍
what do you think about using bio-char to filter the water ?
Having the fiber not submerged, does it smell bad?
Noob here to sump systems. Thx
Great video.. i happy its not just my bio balls that melt away
This is SO easy. Is this equivalent to a baffled sump?
Jesus christ
I've been researching online on sumps for a while and want to build an ultimate freshwater sump.
As far as I know, these are the main components of the sump:
1. protein skimmer
2. mechanical filter
3. biological filter – moving bed filter (sand/movable media)
4. biological filter – stationary porous media
5. chemical filter – refugium
Would this filtration order work nicely?
Have you ever run into issues due to the water in the upper tank being mixed with the lower tank?
Would you use the same biological filtration recommendations for a marine reef system? I’d imagine lava rock would be way cheaper than the bio balls or something similar
Hello can u recommend a sump tank size for a 90 gal tank
Whoa that is a huge bicep starting back at us from the camera view. It looks like about half of your chest width, from the side profile.
Ok what do you know about Anoxic filter where you use Laterite as a substrate in your sump by Kevin Novak on you tube
Which Company pump you use for Sump filter ?
Please tell me..
Would you recommend PVC or some sort of tubing to pull the water from aquarium to the sump and returning it back?
Your srs are the KING OF DIY TY SO SO MUCH. You’ve just un flipped my wallet so much. Thank you so much!!!!! YUR THE MAN FR
just found your video and really helpful! Thanks for your video!
where do you get all you tanks from?
When setting up a sump is it better to drill the aquarium in the back or bottom?
How do you find time to be a dad, work a full-time job, be an +1 millions follower youtubers, be an exceptional aquarist, and workout? Dude u make it hard for regular Joe's like us lol hahaha. congrats on your video and content
Just wondering, how come u don’t put a skimmer into your sump?? Won’t it take waist and other bad chemicals in your water? It can help you out!!
Congrats on 1 mil sub
