Forget about the DIY filter. The tank looks awesome. I just love hair grass in aquariums. Adding those rocks made it so cool.

[@diyformyhome2265]

tks u so much!!!

[@draven4464]

Yeah, cause who gives a fuck about the health of the fish, or having to scrub it 24/7 for the sake of not doing some very basic additional work

[@alan_mythicalgnome]

This is a good idea if you want to taylor a filter to suit your particular needs. As for those internal filters others are talking about. The ones I had were always breaking down.

[@_JS96]

Great video. I've been thinking about how I want to design a canister filter for my betta's tank, and in my head I was going to put the submersible pump inside the aquarium itself and have the canister inline with the output. I'm going to redesign that with the pump inside the canister instead, as you did. This way there's much less in the aquarium itself, and it looks cleaner. Also, to those wondering about the power supply and voltage regulator (blue chip with the numbers), you could easily do this more simply with a 5v cellphone charger (no longer adjustable), or by using a pump with variable flow dial. They did this so they can adjust the flow rate manually by changing how much power the pump is given.

[@diyformyhome2265]

Thanks for your comment. This is the filter with small version from big filter of fish tank.Because I can't found the pump mini have the adjustment function . So, I have to use control voltage module.

[@Ummmmmkay88]

Just get a sponge filter…

[@shakescan]

Wow! Loved this, what a great hack

[@kencharm2909]

If you happen to have everything on hand, this is pretty cool. If you have to buy everything, there are less expensive small cannister filters currently on the market.

[@diyformyhome2265]

Yes, I totally agree with you, But, My place is only a small town. I cant buy the little filter for my fishtank.For that reason, I have to reuse everything I can find near where I live, Sometimes DYIng something will be more expensive than what we can buy. but it really is not crucial because DIY is also my interest.

[@ryleekawasugi3610]

This was an awesome vid. There are many bones one could pick, and they are true: if this leaks, it'll siphon the tank... The silicon will crack over time, I could just buy another type of filter for cheaper, etc., But I don't think those, legitimate as they may be, were the point of the video. This diy project crosses my line of diminishing returns too, by far! I don't have the electrical items, the drill and bit, nor the knowledge OR TIME, just lying around to make this efficient for ME. Nor am I a diy fanatic. But for the masses of people who do, this sharing is a creative idea. The possibilities are limitless. Even an Applied Science teacher would love this! Regardless of purpose or choice, this was super interesting. Thank you.

[@tauncfester3022]

PE plastic and hot glue..( not silicone..) remain flexible for decades if you keep it inside out of the sun

[@ryleekawasugi3610]

Additionally, most of the small/nano filters that can be commercially obtained/"PNP", do not provide the quality of filtration which can be manipulated in a DIY construction like this. In a DIY project like this, we can control the amount and type of physical media, carbon/charcoal as well as biological media as we see fit. Just the ceramic pieces he used, compared to any small Tetra, Eheim, Fluval, Aqueon (etc.) Internal or External HOB filter, will provide EXPONENTIALLY greater supporting beneficial bacteria colonies. Again, depends on your purpose, ...and if you have the resources...and necessity is the mother of ingenuity, right? And see, people are sharing links now and have offered insight beyond the education of this video. We might not have agreed with this DIY project nor been inspired to replicate it, but it has indeed triggered growth in our aquarium hobby and a dialogue. Not only is that a "win", but further evidence of a brilliant and influential video. Cheers! Now I'm gonna change water and maintain all my store bought filters haha. And maybe one day look back to this vid for inspiration. "Over and Out."

[@skinmore]

good idea! i would just tell to use propper silicon, not hot glue, it will get all white and brittle soon and leak!

[@tauncfester3022]

Been building DIY aquarium safe filters and accessories for 38 years now. Hot Glue doesn't get brittle and if done correctly doesn't leak either. Give this guy his chops, he just built a mini canister which you can't buy in this size for less than an Azoo turtle canister. and it has adjustable speed on the motor. So show me a canister filter with a brushless DC pump motor with variable speed?

[@krambek]

@Runer Warlock is this hot glue toxic for fishes?

[@user-pq6br3vb2j]

[@guillermobrajovic5043]

I pity the poor souls that will never know the joy of building something by themselves.

[@katielyb]

There's not that many people who know how to do electrical like this. Or that have the necessary tools with which to do so. I couldn't survive without my drill or glue gun nowadays though. 😁

[@katielyb]

But yes, I agree with you. The sense of accomplishment is like a drug but ten times better.

[@haphantn4671]

Thanks you!

[@JasonFolk07]

Would have used aquarium silicone or a GE #1 brand since that's safer fish!

[@diyformyhome2265]

Tks for your suggestions, when I finished it, I soaked it in water for a while, then added it to my aquarium. because I always want my fishes to be healthy

[@snakeman567]

Yeah that hot glue may not hold up in the long run. If it lets loose you will have leaks.

[@WhatIsMisophonia]

I don't care about companies, I care about experience. I used Red Devil brand 100% silicone (just make sure it doesn't have mold and mildew inhibitors) to seal all of my tanks, and they're doing fine for a couple of years now and not killing anything to the best of my experience. Just because someone recommends something over the internet/youtube because they had good experience with it doesn't mean it's the only product that will work.

[@JasonFolk07]

@@WhatIsMisophonia I have been doing this for like 12 or 13 years now I know what I am talking about when it comes to holding up in the long run I have and had tanks from when I was 13 or 14 years old that will still hold water to this day ahah maybe I am some stranger on KZbin giving advice but it's his opinion to take it or leave it^ I had many more experienced people teach me a trick or two its does no hurt to know...

[@WhatIsMisophonia]

@@JasonFolk07 Ooook... My point is, unless you've tired anything else beyond what was recommended, your experience is still limited. I've heard from people who have used other brands for many years and it worked fine for them. I'm not saying your experience is invalid; I'm asking you not to invalidate the experience of others.

자작 여과기는 만들기 어렵던데 보고 따라하면 쉽게 만들겠네요 ㅋ

[@fabiorc83]

I prefer this type of external filter, it takes up less space inside the tank and doesn't make the tank's internal environment look ugly with a monstrous hideous black box.

[@KunFishingArt]

Beautyscape ..!

[@mrfish.-]

Good job on using endlers and not goldfish, many videos use goldfish or bettas in small tanks like these which I think is cruel but I think your choice of fish is AMAZING, good on you for that 👍🏾😁

Building your own filter is cool and all that, but the hot glue will dissolve over time.

[@kerielwatson3197]

Definitely use aquarium safe silicone

No, it does not, I have well over 35 years working with hotglue and PE type plastics

[@diyformyhome2265]

My pump has used 3-9 Voltage DC /3w. I really do not want to use AC power to run pump. I mean it very dangerous when the electricity is leaking.

Now i have an idea to turn my not so useful HOB into canister style

[@DonkeyDongs]

With the time and money spent on parts you should just get a normal hang-on-back filter and then buy bio-media

[@1234loci]

It's not necessarily the money it's just the joy to build your own nano filter you know. Also he may had biomedia from an existing filter and an old unused water-pump. BUMM; no cost filter, there u have it
