Are you ever gonna restock?

[@shad0wCh8ser]

You should sell the whole kit!

[@Sandhills_nature_hobbies]

Instead of sand you could use salt. It would rinse out easily with water when you're done and would have a lower chance of scratching the plastic.

[@santhoshravi2515]

Instead of salt he could use sugar 😂

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Just tried the salt & it works great! Much easier to wash out with some warm water. Thanks for the idea😃

[@Sandhills_nature_hobbies]

@@TerrariumDesigns Awesome. I can't take credit for that though. Saw Dean do it in an Aquarium Co-op video a few years ago.

[@mannyblackstar]

​@@Sandhills_nature_hobbies you're a good dude

[@dmitriylando1596]

No, just do sand changes every so often. Once every 6 months or year

[@igorgilza]

Slick job! I think it's very important to know the purpose of filters in aquarium ecosystems. As a kid, I thought they are only for sucking debris, when the main purpose of course is helping with balancing the nitrogen cycle

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That exactly what I thought when I was younger too!

[@dimitrijekrstic7567]

Ideally we'd word that a bit differently but the point still stands! The main purpose is biological filtration for sure

[@greenskull9455]

I've been using diy canisters for last 8 years.turns our they're really really inexpensive to make with some basic diy skills and tools and still works just as good as the commercial ones😊

[@avijitsikdar5514]

How did you make it? Show us

[@dimitrijekrstic7567]

Of course they work just as good as commercial ones! Just make sure you get a pump that has the same flow rate, and head pressure (so it can stand below your tank and pump water to at least 1.5m) and only use 20-30PPI foam as biological media! It's the best both when it comes to biological filtration, and when it comes to price!

[@wirtification]

Mind blown 😮😅 simple, elegant DIY design. Ok, I need 3 😂

[@zackpedersen2666]

This is awesome! Really good idea for me to use in conjunction with DIY reptile water fountains for the picky drinkers. Upsizing for bigger reptiles that like a good soak to help keep things clean between cleanings.

[@Saltyeditzz]

You have inspired me to do my first nano scape and i just want to say thank you so much!

[@JonnieB.]

Great job with the lily pipes, the sand is a clever trick.

[@IndoorEcosystem]

BRILLIANT! 🤩

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks mate!💚

[@adamhuckfeldt2895]

Amazing, I am actually in need of this very thing right now for my desk paludarium. Perfect timeing on your video. I'll take a set of those lily pipes as well.

[@Mrs.M-Aquatics]

This is excellent! I love the detail of your video and plan to try and make my own. I just bought my first canister filter and love how low profile it is in the aquarium.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it! That’s the reason I love them too, especially in smaller scapes where an internal filter would block up too much space

[@unsocialbutterfly5760]

Fantastic idea, well done! I love your attention to detail, it looks very professional.

[@ShayFletcher-hm1xs]

Nice one mate! You can get plastic pipe bending kits from PC stores that came with handy templates and bendable silicone insert to stop it collapsing. You'll save yourself some time not having to clean-out the sand!

[@ISAAC_CAMERON]

Yes you finally make the filter ❤❤❤❤❤

[@WorldofWhasian]

Pop off man. This is a great video!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks mate!

[@willcwong]

wow, awesome design, i was was thinking as a mini diatom as i have many jar ecosphere aquarium which at times water does get cloudy.great job and great step by steps.

[@tabathatammaro9187]

Absolutely Brilliant!

[@Aking6635]

If you plan on making at least 5 go to the hardware store and buy the nuts they are cheap and I prefer nylon O rings bc you can’t over tighten and have it blow out like a rubber o ring

[@quint3570]

This is 💯 % amazing! You have a new sub mate 👍

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I appreciate it!

[@lukedicksion6092]

Bought the pipes, excited to try making the filter!

[@chekuizzudin6168]

Thanks for sharing such a great idea

[@FloweyFanClub]

i made my first cannister filter and its so easy i was wonder if i did it wrong. nope! next time i might use a cannister bigger than the tank itself

[@chilson88]

Very nicely done and explanations.

[@Eng.Civil.Mohammad]

Amazing work 😊

[@emilybillany9991]

Can you use two 8mm instead of an 8mm and a 10mm?

[@nat-xs2fs]

How is that pump once the filter gets a bit "clogged" does it need alot of cleaning? Will the flow drop

[@OnyxIdol]

Very cool build!

[@robestey5628]

Good Job. Bravo Zulu.

[@abhijitvengurlekar6617]

Brilliant!

[@legendary7593]

Nice job. Just i want to ask if pump still works ? ... sticker on it say : with water only ...dont need to be submered ?

[@dariadagsson6612]

wow everybody so grown up, not one comment on the 1:32, this is not the internet I grew up with

[@LimTowKay]

fortunately for us the whole world grew up, maybe the issue lies with you.

[@morneschaap2944]

Great video! Looking forward to try!

[@AliKharl]

brilliant work!

[@dagty11]

Quick question, could you fit a check valve onto the output pipe? Great video! 😄

[@akshayyadav8746]

Hi. Thanks heaps for this video, I’m going to try this for my small 10 litre planted bowl. Do you have any suggestions to control the out flow into the bowl?

[@Theepiccollier]

I love your videos but I have a question, do plants need to be put in the soil at their roots or just set on top of the soil? Or does it vary between plants? I cannot find an answer anywhere

[@onlywei]

Why would you want the water to contact the fine filter media before the coarse sponge?

[@RaziFane]

great vid

[@Buc1CANE1ers]

I know this is for a mini aquarium but do you think this would work for a paludarium if I make it a bigger container and a stronger pump? ? I want to have the pump that feeds the water on the outside to create more space within the tank and make it easier to fix any issues with the pump.

[@mannyboy684]

Do you think we can switch the in and out flow placements?

[@osTblock]

THX for the video! 🥰👍

[@budiawan1784]

Can I use salt fill to pipe? I imagine salt more easily flushed with water

[@lastproductionstudio]

Yes

[@AS-zm2mx]

Thanks ❤

[@astrona77]

Wonderful video. Is there any reason that the fine filter is at the top closer to water intake (flow in) and then the coarse filter?

[@KenzakiShirokawa]

I think it's actually because the fine filter is just there to catch the debris, But the coarse one is to do the biological filtration (aka good bacteria) so the fine one will need to be replaced quite often so setting it at the top makes it easier

[@jonludlum1250]

Do you have a link for the pump you're using?

[@goldenarithmetic1850]

Omg I wish I could make this but I’m not capable. Do you by any chance sell your hand made stuff?

[@Unseenals]

Where do u get the insects from for your ecosystems

[@eticocr]

Is there a way to regulate the outflow any ideas?

[@웨안뒈]

I use flow control valve in the middle of the outflow pipe. find one that could fit with pipe size. flow control valve with 1/4'' size was the perfect size for me

[@sazidahammed2021]

Useful vedio

[@rejuveniledelinquent3522]

Very cool build. I think the filter media is in the wrong order though?

[@ALEX-dm6su]

I think if you use the white less course one first it will clock faster

[@rgilroy1909]

amazing

[@burakdemirci844]

Can I use it in 25-30 liter aquariums? Should I use a bigger one?

[@Uddog-x5u]

Can I just use silicone pipe?

[@XOVOX777]

When will you restock?

[@Hocuz]

Hey, im new here and im really like your vid. For ecosystem, can i use a cocopeat? If i can, should make it wet?

[@brandibarta9322]

is there a reason you don’t use charcoal in the canister? wouldn’t that promote healthy biome?

[@ArnoldQMudskipper]

Would you not want the coarse filter sponge first? So the fine filter floss doesn't get gummed up as quick.

[@JohnH-g6i]

I can't find a cup like that to save my life lol.. Anyone have an amazon link to something similar that I can't seem to find. How much larger can it be? 500ml to large? 250 to small? Thanks :)

You have the flow backwards, inlet should be at the bottom, outlet at the top. Like eheim

[@Hartwig870]

I'd spend more than a buck on the canister. I'd get one of those small reactor canisters from Bulk Reef Supply. They use real Mur-lok fittings, not that chinesium crap. I'd also get some of their RO tubing and holders. Those crappy suction cups WILL let you down one day, and drain the whole thing, or go dry. Wow. So much wrong here. "Use what you've got" is a garbage mentality when it comes to anything water related, doubly so when pets are involved. Cheaping out, or not using good materials will fuck you eventually. You can buy real bulkhead fittings in that size for like $1.50, then you aren't relying on CS glue which isn't designed for this at all.

[@todd1hd]

Man I wish I was a cool and as smart as you.

hey! this filter was awesome! but i wanna request something, can you PLEASE like.. please do a desk setup glass BOWL aquarium? with just lemon shrimps (neocardina shrimps to be exact) and with alot of carpeting-plants! will appreciate ALOT if you did this with this comment on top :D
