      If you get hot plastic on you, rub your fingers together right away. It balls up the plastic, and keeps all the heat from burning that one spot... same with hot glue.

    Works great! About a month ago I made one of these and stuck it in my container pond. For 3 weeks nothing happened. The K1 media trapped air bubbles and just floated at the top of the bottle. I'd shake it every now and then to release the trapped air only for the media to trap more air and float unmoving. About a week ago I noticed some of the media at the bottom of the pile becoming fluidized. Hope sparked. This morning I woke to find all of the media tumbling just like it is supposed to! So easy to make! Really excited for more nitrifying bacteria to develop! Thanks Cory!

      I found that squeezing the bottle a few times once it's underwater and running will help push out any air bubbles trapped in the media and help the k1 begin tumbling faster.

    Hey Cory I love the video as usual man! I use DIY K1 media fluidized filters in some of my tanks as well, and I find making the hole that you insert your airline into smaller than the rest and wedging the tubing through that hole with no air stone allows the media to fluidize better initially.

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  8 років тому +4

The a heater and then the pump back to the tank.

      The only problem it might cause is high flow in the tank, which is a problem for some fishes.
      If you select fishes from high flow environments, you can circumvent that problem.
      Otherwise, filtration beyond a certain point is just expensive and/or redundant, it's not dangerous or detrimental for the inhabitants of the tank.

  • @RichsFishes
    @RichsFishes 8 років тому

    Corey, I see a sponge filter in that tank that has no air flow to it. When you run these K1 filters are they the only filtration on a tank or do you use them in combination with a sponge (or other) filter? If the aesthetics are a concern, do you ever think of maybe trying to hide the bottle in something like a black acrylic tube thats full of holes? Or do you think a combination of this and a quasi HMF filter might work? Maybe hide this bottle behind a corner filter of poret foam?

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  8 років тому

      +Rich's Fishes Well in this video, some of the sponges are intake sponges that were just dropped into the tanks to help seed them faster as I dropped 300 cichlids in each of those tanks. As for hiding it, sure you could dress these up quite a bit, or put them in sumps. But for my fish room I don't bother. I think the simplicity of them and their cheap cost is the lure. By the time you buy acrylic and make something, perhaps there was a better mouse trap to build anyways.

    Hello everyone. I just got a 65 gallon aquarium. I'm new to this and wanted to know when i put this bottle in my tank... Do I still need the filter system that goes on top of the tank with the padded filters? Hope to hear from someone soon😊

      Hi Joel, there are 3 types of filtration, biological, chemical and mechanical. This filter is biological only. There is always some debate on chemical (carbon.......) and mechanical to take the particles out of the water. I use foam filters for the mechanical and biological, but this filter looks like a great idea.

    Also, side question-would glass beads be an ideal breeding substrate similar to marbles? I find marbles expensive in comparison and tougher to find.

      +John Martinez Yeah they seem to work well like marbles and are much easier to find even at the dollar store.

    Hi I want to know what's that white thing in the bottle called and what is the purpose of it because I dont see it filtering anything out :)

      It's a biological filter. It processes ammonia.

    Do you think this is possible with sand instead of K1?

  • @jamessoriano1114
    @jamessoriano1114 3 роки тому

    Since it's the weight of the bacteria that will keep it moving when it's new. Maybe a heavier type of filter media?

    • @MakoyUnggoy
      @MakoyUnggoy Рік тому

      The heavier media will not tumble as it's supposed to when bacteria has attached itself to it, the media will all end up staying near the bottom of the bottle as opposed to fully circluating, that's why the k1 is used, because of it's neautral boyancy

    Where do you get your never clog air stones? None of my usual sources(LFS, Jehmco, Kens, Pet Solutions, etc.) have them.

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  8 років тому

      +tnnsman7 I import them from Singapore myself. In the future I'll probably get some of these harder to get items on my web page to ship. I don't have time to ship but there isn't much other way for people to get em. Sometimes they are on Ebay, can be hit or miss though.
