Sponge filter make it BETTER

[@bobs5596]

if you drill smaller holes you could fill the jar with large size bone charcoal around the sponge for added water purity. otherwise line it with plastic window screen or thin sponge sheeting (used for ''filter wrap'') cut to size to contain finer grades of carbon.

[@aquariumheaven]

yes you can

[@beachz101]

What a great idea…I’m off to get a jar and do the same - thank you! Brilliant.

[@aquariumheaven]

good for you :)

[@DidYouKnowFacts0101]

what a wonderful idea.. thank mate..i have a plenty aerator like this.. but long time i haven't used them.. now i have an idea ..thank mate.. have a lovely day..

[@aquariumheaven]

never let a moment by if u have an idea that can inspire other to create, cheers mate

[@skylerprobably9154]

Keep up the good work and don't let the hater get you down I'm subbing this is genuine a good idea

[@aquariumheaven]

Thank you Skyler, comments like yours are the only ones that matter

[@pandapanda9469]

waste of time, just let the sponge do the thing.

[@skylerprobably9154]

💀🤓

[@aquariumheaven]

it is doing it's thing without getting the tank dirty

[@pepeng0420]

i will try it

[@aquariumheaven]

U will be very surprised n happy 😊

[@alexakisg4ellas444]

shrimps dont like it this way...

[@aquariumheaven]

Okay Alex let me do some research and see if I can come up with something to make the shrimp happy

[@9catlover]

maybe u could even take out the sponge and use ceramic hydroponic beads and a sponge on top to make sure it keeps the beads in place. this is giving lots of ideas. thank you. i think those sponges aren't great

[@aquariumheaven]

Great idea!

[@droidbhai2145]

Any benefits of this after pls tell

[@aquariumheaven]

yes when you remove it to clean it doesn't get the tank water messy.

[@Danny-yt8zw]

you just put a jar around it XD, thats not better thats just lots of work for nothing this is not a better at all its even restricted this way

[@aquariumheaven]

you only will see the benefits when you try it and when you remove it to clean it doesn't get the tank water messy.

[@Danny-yt8zw]

@@aquariumheaven you only clean the filter when you do a water change so messy water thats not a big issue , its never that dirty anyway when you do regular clean , to me its pointless to put a jar arround it , it wil also restrict the filter survice

[@bobs5596]

i thought he turned a sponge filter into one of those little plastic box filters we used a long time ago that had to be packed with glass wool and charcoal. but i will take the idea further and park the sponge filter inside a short piece of 4'' pvc pipe that i will attach to a UG filter plate by cutting a 4'' hole in the center of the plate and using a small piece of a coupling fitting on either side of the plate to lock it to the plate. the sponge will then act as the air lift to run the UG filter. i hope i can find a reducing fitting to cap the 4'' pipe down to 2'' or less for aesthetic purposes, and maybe keep fish out of it. i can hide the pipe behind rocks or even find a hollow log that fits over it. to clean the filter, just remove the cap and lift it out since it won't be attached to anything. sponges come in diff diameters so you could do this one a smaller scale for small tanks. add a bag of charcoal, etc, under the sponge if you like, but the stuff added will slow the rate of water flow through the UG, which is just what you want to establish anoxic conditions in your gravel. otherwise just cut the air flow down to slow the flow.

[@havik7069]

Actually it's much better to have your sponge holder enclosed in this jar. Because it helps keep all that debris and junk and dirt inside. Basically adding an entire other dimension to the filter to hold a bunch of extra stuff like mechanically

[@Danny-yt8zw]

@@havik7069 i do not agree to that but if you want a jar arround it be my gast :)

[@jamescecilpilar2455]

Whats the purpose of the jar?

[@silviamargaritagomezbecerr4917]

También es m duda?

[@AOAvina]

To trap all the particles that may come off when you take it out to clean it

[@aquariumheaven]

trap the dirt

[@90ritesh90]

Dont you think it will absorb less dirt particles then before just becoz of the holes? Its like decreasing the dirt absorbing surface area. ​@@AOAvina

Thank you very much

[@johanna006]

What's with the jellyfish? Is that a tv at the back?

[@aquariumheaven]

Yes I use a flat panel TV as a background for all my tanks. This a sample for a 10 gallon tank kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2ipoYCFhbx_r6s

[@jamesalphonse4948]

How much to the filter

[@aquariumheaven]

The filter was $6 and the canister $1

[@aviralsingh7218]

What is price of your sponge filter

[@aquariumheaven]

u can buy the filter at petsmart for about $10 and can pick up the container at most 99c stores, just follow the video instructions 😁

[@Jolykjo]

I tried this, but i didn't see any result

[@aquariumheaven]

It does but it's takes time. I did revise the design I will upload it soon

[@pamelamoises5615]

So if there is revision it means ? ? ?

[@SandipBasu-ov5yq]

difarence Keya hey ?

[@aquariumheaven]

it keeps the dirt in so when you take it out to clean the dirt doesn't mess up the tank water. thank you for asking

[@90ritesh90]

But it will decrease the efficiency the of the sponge filter to absorb dirt particles.

[@FlowerhornUK]

Why 🤷🏼?!?!

[@aquariumheaven]

It keeps the dirt trapped inside so when u remove to clean the sponge, the tank water doesn't get messy. Thank you for ur comment.

[@iftikhar9090]

kuch new krte tu bhtar hota

[@aquariumheaven]

Thank you 😁

[@01spikyspider007]

what does that even do

[@aquariumheaven]

It does the same thing but when u take it out to clean the sponge it keeps the crap on the sponge from messing up the water by keeping the crap inside

[@johanna006]

@@aquariumheaven Just put the sponge in a jar before you lift it up.

[@kevinowen7388]

More waste of time and resource is it nor is it benefit it ? The main thing is for the sponge to obsorb as much dirt into it and by covering it just by couple of holes make it worse !

[@aquariumheaven]

not really the dirt is in the water going through the holes and the main objective of a sponge filter is to carry the beneficial bacteria to keep the water balanced more than anything else
