The filter layers are set up perfectly! However, with a vertical arrangement, water can bypass the coarse sponge and go straight into the aquarium. This makes the second and third layers less effective. It's better to arrange the layers horizontally so it will be step by step filtration.
🤙🏽💯💯 great point love it
BRO YOURE SO FUNNY. Not only funny, but educational aswell??? I just subbed. :)
Thanks Braddah I try to make the hobby fun and show people that fish nerds are cool too🤙🏽💪🏽♥️thanks for the Love and support appreciate you!
Omg!!! I did then first video. Had a over flow problem... now I can try this... thank you 😊 ☺️
Saya Mellow 🤙🏽🤙🏽 u hear your shout out at the end
Yessss!!!
Yasss, As always informative and entertaining. Happy Fathers Day to you. 😊
Ah thank you Leelee 🤙🏽🐠🌺🐠🤙🏽
Super awesome! Thank you my brother!
Much Love Candy Appreciate the Love! 🤙🏽💯🤙🏽
This is very similar I pond gurus series and all the other you tubers ... but yours is far more entertaining LOL pimp that production
I can't believe how much money i've wasted on cartridge filters... thank you so much, really excited to pimp my filter, lol.
Yes!!! No more buying filter cartridges!! I got you covered 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Great video. I repost your vids on my fish webpage. My users love them. I found that Hawaiian chant musc thanks. Your intro is great!!
Right on braddah Doug appreciate u🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Thanks for the advice
I do the same sandwich method but i start at the bottom and go up. I'm gonna try this flow option.
Peace ✌
Right on I love it🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Yeah I was wondering if bottom to top would be better
Nice upgrades to the filter.
Thanks braddah Paul! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
When I do next weeks water change I'll finally finish my pimped out HOB. I've taken a few of your tips and combined them. I've done it slowly to not remove too much BB at once. I have an overstocked malawi tank with fish that I love and I gotta look out for my boys!! Another great video, sir.
Thanks braddah CC what HOB DO U HAVE?
@@HaYNFishKeeper I have an Emporer 400. It's just like the Penguin you did, but it has 2 compartments for media. I bought a few factory filters back in April and the last ones are in now. I'm due to change out next week and will finish my upgrade then. I've done half already....I changed out the grey boxes for macro foam and blue filter pad. And I know you're a "biowheel? Schmiowhell" guy, but I like my biowheels. 🤣🤣 I personality enjoy the trickle sound. I know they're not really necessary now so I probably won't replace if they break.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! This is god tier info lol.
Much love thank you! 🤙🏽💯💯
This is the video I needed
Right on braddah 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Thank you so much for this video. It's annoying to throw out all the biological media every few weeks. I'll be pimping more filters
Love the content! Keep it comint faster
🤙🏽💯😂
Great video! I subscribed. I plan on switching from the cartridge over to your filter upgrade. How would I transition the cartridge to the new setup without losing the good bio?
Thanks for the love and support, it’s easy set up the new filter do a 50% water change then take the old cart and give it a good swish around in the tank it will be a little cloudy but it’s the good bacteria cloudy…. It will clear up in a couple hours 🤙🏽♥️💯
@@HaYNFishKeeper Thanks for what you do.
Thanks
🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Howzit brah! Awesome video especially for a newbie like me. I plan on copying your pimped out setup.
I was wondering what dimensions did you use for the micropore sponge and filter floss?
Oh I’m not sure I just cut to size it’s pretty easy braddah u for this much love and aloha 🤙🏽♥️🤙🏽
@@HaYNFishKeeper I was able to figure out the dimensions and ppimped out my HOB Top Fin 10 filter. Thanks for the advice!
Wow! That’s really informative!
Thanks for all these great ideas!
Love it! ♥️
#pimpyourtank 😂😉
Ayee!!! Glad you like it 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Such great helpful and entertaining content Love the videos, when can we be expecting the extension to tiki falls?? Also happy father's Day have a good day
Thanks braddah “STAY TUNED👀”
Bingo bango bongo!
😆😂🤣🤙🏽🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
haha lovin the hip hop vibes!! just what i needed being new to the hobby 🤪 just got this filter with my "starter kit" stoked to add all this!
currently in the cycling process, would it help to put all this in now to lets say "kickstart" the process? or wait til after the tank is cycled a little bit better?
Ohh nah braddah upgrade now it’s all good I mean it’s being cycled you can mess with it!! Glad you found this one to help you I enjoyed doing this series welcome to the OHANA 🤙🏽🤜🏽💥🤛🏽
Awesome video, wish to obtain a Marineland 220 or 350 bio for my red devil tank, although it's only 29 Gallons, moving up to a 40 or 60 gallon for him.
🤙🏽💯🤙🏽
I'm doing a mod for a topfin silentstream 75 for a 55g tank I'm setting up tomorrow. Learned it on YT....just cutting a piece of plexiglass to block the water flow from the right chamber and use the right chamber for mechanical filtration and the left for biological. Hopefully it works fine. I had bought a seachem tidal 110 to run in place of yhe topfin, but now I'm going to save it for a future tank.
Perfect🤙🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽🤙🏽
@Ha Y N Fish Keeper question for you..someone else mentioned to just put bio media in the bottom then sponges on top of that. I thought the biological filtration should come last. Plus the water comes in mid level so it would miss most of the biological and just hit the mechanical then back in the tank. Am I missing something? I'm still fairly new to the hobby
@@FishRfunhe did put the bio media last, I don't think he can help what a random "someone else" said. As far as where the water goes in you're right, it's a terribly flawed system. The water in mine goes in actually closer to the top. And it seems no one realizes how this doesn't make any sense.
BTW pantyhose are great for daphnia hunting :)
Cheers from Poland.
🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Grate video like always why don’t you use lava rock for ceramic media
I use it for my ponds it’s just super bulky but I did find that they have bags of smaller lava rock which I’m using now 🤙🏽💯💯
LOL! Why dont you eat up your burger and we'll tell ya!! Bwahahaha!
Just wondering if you could do a series on pimping out Canister filters
I’d love to do that but to buy different canisters can be expensive for me lolol maybe if I get a chance to get a couple different ones I can do it🤙🏽🤙🏽
Wouldn’t it make more sense to stack the filters on top of each other vs standing them beside each other? What would the difference be?
Great info. 👍🏾
For this type filter it’s more efficient 🤙🏽♥️💯
sence water is pumped from the bottom and water must go up should you stack the media insted of sandwiching them
U can get more media in this way plus you want the water to be as clean as possible before it runs through your media
Greetings How are you? I have a topfin mf20 and i recently removed carbon filter & replaced with ac filter & poly fil help!???
BRO. I have this exact HOB filter, and new to fish world. I ordered all the things, and gonna pimp it out. The basic filter keeps getting dirty bi weekly and wants me to change it. Killing the nitrogen cycle
Right on braddah🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 I loved doing this series gotta check out the “Pimp my Filter” playlist
@@HaYNFishKeeper This video should get way more views, because like you said, everyone starts with these HOB filters when new to the game. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm starting small and easy, once I figure out how all this works, i'll eventually upgrade to bigger and better. Again, appreciate the video!
@@SeanJohn127 hey I’m glad you found this to help you out appreciate the love and kind words braddah🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Whats the difference in prefilter and bio filter media? 🥴
Pre catches large particles before it hits the sponges and bio Media is where Beneficial Bacteria grows and Cultivates 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Lose the lid and shove the roots of a Pothos down in there to really trick it out.
Donovan Wisdom 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 spoken like a true pimp! Now that’s pimped out! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Actually I bought a one year supply of those carbon filters at pet smart for 20$
Niiice!!
Those bio-rings are only good for pre-filtration. Pot scrubbers should only be used as pre-filtration as well. They serve no actual purpose otherwise because the lack the surface ares to support enough beneficial bacteria. Pumice would be better to use as biological media and can only be matched by Biohome media. Just use a handful of the ceramic rings loose in the bottom. Then cover them with coarse foam and then fine foam. That’s all that’s actually needed.
Putting everything on its side like it is in this filter doesn’t provide any actual filtration the water bypasses the fine foam and gos straight though the coarse foam. Just make a grid for the slots in the filter and put fine foam in front of it and rings behind it.
🤙🏽💯🐠
Not true for topfin water comes from right to left so he’s doing it right in the video, it’s a unique HOB from others were you would normally stack bottom up
I just about bust a gut when I saw the thumbnail 🤣 I've also been checking out your hat game lately, nice job! But the coconut is still my fave. I like this video, but I wonder how much flow there actually is through the media sock. Those sponges tho, I've seen them elsewhere and I really like the idea. I bought a used 65g a while ago and it came with what the sellers called a "trickle filter", which turns out to be some kind of sump. They used what appears to be crinkled strips of carbon paper in the trickle part, and I don't really want that, but haven't figured out what to use instead. Those sponge scrubbies might work.... Hmmmm 🤔
Totally they would work and the pantyhose works great Joey DIY uses them too thanks B 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Do this on the SilenStream 40/70?
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
I love diy filters! Those store bought refills are way overpriced and not even as affective.
Exactly Stephanie u nailed it so Dumb right? 🤙🏽🐠🌺🐠🤙🏽
