You are very very helpful! All the support from Philippines. I hope your next project would be a DIY water change hose like the one in Thailand farms. But this time, for racked aquariums. I am a betta shop owner and I have 400 tanks of Bettas, it would really be helpful if you can create that kind of Guide. Feel free tor each out to me to see what I'm talking about.

[@madebykm]

Ok, I have noted this and will attempt to make that DIY hose for the water change. In the meantime, you can also check out my DIY Aquarium Siphon video. Thank you.

[@zoradavinci3]

Have a couple questions from experienced aquarium owner but not mechanical. You put the filter together in sections which I understand but you used some sort of adhesive? To glue them together is this aquarium safe? Otherwise you could get aquarium filter material and do a multi layer and do without. Or like I do in one filter I put a polishing filter on top a charcoal in middle and a sponge material on bottom just wedged in between each other.
How did you ever come up with this idea? I’m a very visual learner and you’re an excellent teacher I followed your steps without any issues at all. A+ and please do offense on questions I’m just trying to understand better. Thanks for video.

[@madebykm]

The adhesive I used here is silicone glue, which is actually used to make aquariums. It is absolutely safe for all aquarium life. Thanks.

[@madebykm]

[@abuarya_bukanafgan]

It's very good creation. You are the best. But how if you want change the bio foam. Because you seal them permanent

[@madebykm]

The bio-sponge I used here is reusable and can be used for many years. I clean it every month by just taking the sponge block out of the filter, dunking it in some old tank water, and giving it a few squeezes until the dirt or debris stops coming out. Then I put it back in the filter. But, in the future, if I see it cannot be used further, I'll make another one in the same way :) Thanks.

[@khoiren]

Bro you create great stuff ❤as always really nice job 👌

[@madebykm]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@peter-peter5929]

Brilliant idea!!! I'm going to use it for a small tank I have for my Florida cooter. It's only about a 3 gallon tank, but the build-in filter isn't doing the job. Do you think I can make a smaller version using the same format? Thanks 👍👍👍👍
Also, 18k gold ring is usually worn by northern south Americans, or the India subcontinent. I'm going with Asia. How close was I? Thank you again.

Brother I have a 5 feet tank.... So which motor should I use??? and should I buy large box or this is only enough?

[@madebykm]

Since this is a very large tank, I would recommend using two such filters and placing them on either side of the tank for better filtration. Also, use two completely airtight or leakproof containers of at least 5000mL and two power-heads with flow rates of 1800L/h - 2000L/h.

Ensure that all connections or joints (pipes, connectors, powerhead, etc.) are completely airtight or sealed. Also, use a powerhead that is appropriate for your tank size and powerful enough to pump water up to the tank. Next, follow the steps shown in the video thoroughly. It will definitely work.
