I guess it dosnt matter with the Mat filter
I kinda like a clear in aquarium sump so I can see all the insides and what might be clogging. But I like your ideas
I've got a 30gallon rimless tank I'm thinking of converting to a reef tank. I think this would be great to hide pump and heater and get some waterflow out of it as well. Probably be able to hide it behind some rocks and corals too.
what is the name of this book?
Surely you could make a moss wall using ss mesh in place of the bucket?
Nice !
I modified this design to make a whole internal sump with mechanical as well as biological media, thanks!
Great idea and very inexpensive. Too bad the likes aren't alot more. You have made life easier for alot of us fish lovers. You are the man. Thanks
Shrimp tank! 👌
use gloves and eye protection with those razor blades
Good video and I’ll send an early congratulations on 500k subscribers.😉
Hey guys. Can i use this method in a 120-130 litters tank?
Will it work for salt water
This is one of my favorite DIY filters you’ve shown yet. Simple but very effective. I’m thinking of setting up a 125gal and do 3 of these. A half round in the middle then one in each of the back corners. Stuffing a lot of bio media behind them.
I am rehabilitating an old 75g (for sentimental reasons,it was my first big tank, unused for years-remodeling) and I am going to build in corner Matten filters in both back corners.
I perform a biological doody at least twice a day 🙂
love the video m8 great idea as usual
I did a filtration like this one here. How long I leave them there before I do cleaning of the filter. I got shrimp too. 3 ft tank. Please.
You could use a plastic mesh instead of that bucket. Could save that bucket 😝
Can i use this setup for my slider turtle?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SPONGE AND WHICH SIZE OF HOLE ITS GOOD FOR SHRIMPS AQUARIUM
I'm going to do this in my next tank but I'm going to put a fluidised media behind it and really make the most of that space
But you did setup a big fish room and didn't use this why?
Really new and only just thinking about stuff but would it be feasible to do this almost like an internal canister set up in that there would be holes on the bottom for intake, a sponge on the bottom inside followed by bio media? I was thinking of a 10 gallon tank. Thanks!
Have you ever tried using Rit to dye plastic like buckets or PVC pipes? Dyeing will get you the color without worrying that it will peel out.
What a great concept. Gives me an idea for an internal wet/dry
REALLY new to this but wondering what kind of pump would I use for a 10 gal tank? Thanks!
Very cool!
Böyle bir akvaryumda diskus beslenmez çünkü balık pisliğini içinde depoladığı için suyun peaş deyerini bozar nitrat ını arttırır ve osünger zamanla suda koku yaratır 👎
good idea
