3 Aquarium filters YOU CAN BUILD RIGHT NOW - Part 1

[@maxisbored]

When it comes to fishkeeping and diy (two of things i love so much) there hasn't been a single resource more valuable to me than your channel. thanks so much!

[@marcojimenez7019]

I have to let you know that you're a life saver man! I watched your video yesterday and then i was able to go home and make the first filter you talked about out of extra parts i had laying around and it worked perfectly! My little 16g nano is ALOT cleaner now.

[@Curlupanddye75]

I built a bottle filter a while back and was too broke to buy the fluidized media so I used some ceramic Biomax type media I already had thinking that they should work just as well. Glad my lack of funds worked out for me! :D

[@Twins0302]

Natascha Perkins- this is my first time here on this channel, and I'm a bit lost, I googled ceramic biomax and found this Aqua Clear 30 filter insert? This is new to me, and the guy is it Joe, goes by so fast that I could not pick up what he was referring too, other than the "ceramic" and I was totally lost...can you digest this for me please??? I have a 10 gallon tank and use the charcoal filter from Aqueon... I was looking for vacuum system that runs on battery, I'm tired of the siphon hand one, that I have the hardest time to run...it sounds like this is better? Or is this in conjunction with the traditional set up??

[@pravda9646]

@@Twins0302 Have you figured it out yet? The ceramic rings are better because they don't need replacing, and it does not filter out nutrients for plants

[@slothrizz]

5:18 -- LMAO I had to put my blast goggles on! That volume change woke me UP!! 😂 Setting up another new tank and still referring to your filter playlist for cheapo for filter needs. Keep up the good work man!

[@71160000]

Nice filters for small tanks. Twenty five years ago when I was dating my wife I gave her a fifty five gallon aquarium with a custom stand and top that I had built. Set it up with rocks and gravel, large plastic plants and several dozen african cichilds. Since she was new to fish keeping I ordered two pond sponge filters that were round and about the size of a small coffee can. Added a one inch pvc riser and topped with a power head. I placed one at each end of the tank and told her to rinse one out each week in old tank water, alternating each week. That tank ran for years with nothing more than water changes and washing filters. The fish grew large and thrived.

[@hazellenebondoc1287]

Watched 5 videos regarding setting up an aquarium filter and this is the only one that i understand. You're an angel.

[@nerozero738]

Made the first one and attached it to my filtration system . Had some brown murkey looking water in my koi tank within an hour it was crystal clear and I had some happy fish again

[@OmniversalInsect]

Same with me I did that about a year ago

[@sweeflyboy]

Will keep this in mind for my koi with an ultimately undersized filter.

[@bailie30]

Where did you get the pump and attachment?

[@MehHalfhearted]

@@bailie30 Can get them off amazon and whatnot. I found a $13 sunsun jvp pump rated for 158gph after a bit of searching, and its worked great for my 33 gallon. Just find something with a gph rating that is appropriate for your tank.

[@condorX2]

That is the most helpful advice I have ever been given for multiple tanks. Love you so much.

[@winstead31]

I stumbled across this video while searching for help with my cloudy/murky tank. I've never seen your videos before but today I watched this one. I went home and cut open a water bottle and stuffed it with the fluffy filling like you had on here. within 20 minutes I could see a HUGE difference in my tank. before I couldn't even hardly see my down spout for my filter system, now I can see the electric cord the the pump for the filter system. there has been a 80% difference already in this short amount of time. thank you so much for this video. I think this new tank just might make it!!

[@ahofftn]

Thanks for the update. This is how we learn, by doing something, then doing further research and trying something else. And you are wise enough to show the better method.

[@thedarkfader92]

I have to say the concept of a water bottle gave me bigger ideas, the fact you explain how they all work at the simplest breakdown with out all the scientifically fact makes this one of the best filter understand video on youtube , i just subscribed

[@RK-MediArt-Productions]

Joey the videos you make is like me going to home depot. Sometimes you don't know what you really need or you remember something you need just by shopping around. You are that guy, I come to visit your channel just to see was up, and I go oh yea I can definitely use that to make my aquarium hobby better. You are very loyal to the hobby man and I enjoy very much watching your videos. You felt like you took responsibility with innocence and I appreciate you showing us how it was being used the wrong way especially when you have mentioned about how the prices are sky rocketing and sellers taking advantage. You always advise us to make use of things at it's highest capacity and you make the most creative and technical videos on the fish hobby. Very polished and high class. I started watching your live videos and I like the freelance type videos as well. You get to be yourself and on youtube, you get to TOP it off in the youtube hobby. I appreciate that Joey. And yes, it was you that I got influenced by to make a filter like that haha, and it is you again to re-consider my media although it does look kool and has been running well for a few months now, I may have to transfer the k1 media to make the most of them in a container/tank. I always thought they needed space to swing around, this video proves that point. Thanks!!!! I have a solid yr in the aquarium hobby and always looked ways to enjoy it for me, my family, more importantly for the fish. I am big on DIY projects, some things work, some things aren't going to work, just depends. looking forward to more videos!!

[@royalspin]

Keep in mind that some of the fibers can get sucked up into the impeller of the power head .I would advise putting something like a dish scrubbing pad in-between the pump and the materials used for fine filtration. Also never EVER drill towards your hand !! Using a different bottle that's more rigid would be a good idea as well.

The DIY projects you do are simple and make a lot of sense, not to mention help the average aquarist save a heck of a lot of money! Love your work man, keep it up! Also I have a video request if I may... Would you be up to talking about troubleshooting aquarium water colours? All the other guides seem a little vague. Ive had a blueish tinted tank for months now, yet all my parameters are pretty spot on. My best bet is the tap water is causing it, but my house is brand new. My Firemouth Cichlid just recently developed HitH disease, so whatever my water's doing clearly isn't great for my fish. Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

[@thekingofdiy]

[@lorenmansfield]

I was really enjoying this very informative video until I had a panic attack about drill bits at 5:18

[@rosemarydudley9954]

lorenmansfield...Don't worry about having to use drills. I have a metal meat skewer...I heat the end of it in the gas (cooker) and when it's hot simply push it through the plastic bottle. The hole will be quite small so you can wiggle it around a bit....well, that's what I did and have a great filter. Make sure there are no bits of plastic sticking out to damage fish. Instead of clear plastic I use empty, washed out Horlicks "bottles" (take label off) and being white they look nice in the tank.

[@royalspin]

I got nervous while watch him use that drill .

[@tankoaquatics7937]

This is why I went with your DIY trickle filter with the 5 gallon buckets, but I modified that to fit more media and water. Really hope to get some feed back from you on my 300 gallon setup. I will show the filter prob next week once I have it all plumbed in.

Hello there. Can you please make a video or a series of videos for the absolute beginner like me? For example, what fish can a beginner keep or how to set up a small (5 gallon) tank etc. I would appreciate very much if you did that sort of thing. Thanks in advance.

[@sooyoungie5137]

5 gallons isn't much at all. I recommend starting out with a 10 gallon, because it's easier to cycle and you can actually own a significant amount fish. In a 5 gallon, you could probably own a betta since it's a good beginner fish, BUT only one. I have a rule of thumb, 1 inch of fish = one gallon. (This ONLY applies to the adult size of fish.) You could start out a shrimp tank, but I recommend doing a lot of research. Don't do any other kinds of invertibrae cause they easily dirty the tank.

I love it. Very well done. It didn't feel like a bashing to me, you gave a balanced opinion based off facts and offered a quick, cheap, and easy way for people to remedy the mistake that may have been made. I was actually about to set up a little betta tank in my living room and was going to do kind of a fancy and smaller version of the fluidized version. After seeing this I will probably just fill the cylinder with some old biomax. Just a suggestion, you may want to title these kind of videos "Rant - Fluidized media...You're doing it WRONG" or something along those lines. That way people who may just be finding your vids will know that it isn't a regular thing that you do and wont expect other vids to be the same thing.

[@Glenmoto12]

Hello, I've been reading your book recently. I'm confused over what my type of filter is. It's an efx200 from Maidenhead aquatics. I'm confused because you have to fill it up with water before you start it, so to me it seems like it might be a submerged one. But then the water is also continuously flowing through it, so it fits the criteria for the emerged, and it could also be fluidised, because the flow of water surely knocks the filter media around. I might be thinking too much into this but I would appreciate if you could tell me what the best media would be to use in place of the carbon.

Thanks Joey. I've actually been using coral rubble in my canister filters lately with great results on ammonia and nitrites. I had it taking up space in a drum after taking it out of my tank which I was using it as a substrate. Other than water changes is there a way to keep the nitrates down as this is a problem we're having now.

Serious question.. How is either of these better than a large sponge? It seems that a sponge that takes up as much tank space as the 1 litre bottle will have as much or more surface area. Why build this when for the same price as lava rock you can buy a sponge?

[@TheBondsJamesBonds]

I realize this old but the reason is surface area. You look at the lava rock and it seems to take up the same amount of space. However, it is so porous that it actually has many times the surface area of a sponge. The holes are just very very small.

[@LongNguyen-pv9sm]

Its all about surface area, if the sponge have big enough surface area with enough water flowing through it, perfect, but sometime it doesnt work that well

[@izzudinnaimazis6074]

so, i don't need to use the live bacteria from the product sell in the market insteed of using Bio media?

[@TheMobGrinder]

I think there is still a case for K1 bottle filters. I have about 2 liters of K 1 media in my tank using two fluid bottle filters. I used the big bottles from Glaceau Smart Water, they're about a liter and a half but they don't take up a lot of horizontal room. I also don't use a sponge on the bottom, instead I drilled holes around the neck of the bottle for intake. I left the cap on, with a hole drilled in to feed the air line tubing through that. I get plenty of mechanical filtration elsewhere and didn't need extra from these filters. This setup works really well for my water, and I like that it requires no maintenance.
