the regular diy tower would be find, but those ceramic rings are very heavy.
And two pumps' filter is better than 1 pump? meaning more bio load filtered at faster rate, and sponges getting dirtier 2x faster too, ya? |

i find this quite ok.
But dont want the little tub that act as sump. You -Tube: DIY trickle filter/ dry wet filter Material: plastic drawers, drills, a small bin (sump effect), white sponge for top drawer, green and black for 2nd,3rd drawers. PVC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZJBm89MuzU&feature=related Please comment. Am thinking of doing one for my top tank (birchir). And maybe modify abit ( maybe had the drawers sitting on a stool to make it higher than the tank?) so can be side to side filter for bottom rack tank. |

QUOTE(kakarocht @ Nov 24 2012, 12:15 PM) should be no problem. cos ceramic rings is not heavy actually. how much amount you used for ceramic rings? single pumps will do. I used single pump like the pic that i post which is only suitable for my environment. sponges is depends on the qualities you used actually. apparently i used 2 types of sponge which is thick types (for koi) other is cheaper type of sponge. the 1st tray i put 2 types of sponge - below is koi sponge (those thick sponge which is selling big size around RM 30) the top i only put 2-3 layers of cheap sponge (used and throw). 2nd tray you can put either bio balls/ceramic rings/lava rocks/arang. 3 tray same as well either you wan to put like tray 1/2 method. your choice. if can show your aqua rig/pic will do. My plan is like this: 1st drawer-white foam 2nd and 3rd- green and black foam? And regarding the power head, is put in the water connect with a pvc to the top. You guys think enough power kah? Then 3rd drawer either drill more holes (as trickle output) or one big hole as output direct into aquarium. |

QUOTE(kakarocht @ Nov 25 2012, 09:48 AM) here is the sample of the diy filters that i made but haven't fully complete as shortage of pvc accessories. where can i search for ready made trickle filter?DIY 3 storey filters...  1) 3 storey filters  2) The top layer hole is for the input.  3) The top layer hole with the pvc input.  4) The Trays with the holes for the filterations.  * remember when doing DIY means you need some patient to do it. If you've no patient I recommend you buy ready made will do.

For me it's like dry wet filter.
All media is 50/50 in water and surface. Better bacteria breeding. I wanna put foams so can tapis many times the bio-loads. Carnivore tank is very heavy when we're talking bio-loads. I might be wrong. |

Trickle Filter 4ft tank maybe will either get 45cm (6 drawers) or 60cm (9 drawers). Only putting sponges so hopefully it won't collapsed. And about my lower tank.

Antzz, if goliath is like guppy fish.
You think we want to rear one? That's why I say punggung gatal. RM150? So only one tier. Never saw it here in Ipoh. I think. Mudah selling RM70 2nd hand. Anyone from Ipoh can give me LFS who's selling this one tier filter. Seems good enough to muat bottom rack tank.  What's a sub tank? |

I think that's diy canister with big big space to tapis bio loads.
I'm using the usual 4ft rack to put 2 tanks. Top tank sure can use sump tank ( maybe at the bottom side)or top filter. But lower tank can't. Not enough space for tiered top or too low for sump tank. That's why am considering options. I googled Taobao for Eheim. Many prices many models. Any other brands other than Eheim? And if it's Eheim, which model? Maybe two moderate canisters to support the future bio loads. FYI, my tanks are in my living room. With a kid roaming free ^^ So, it should be safe from drowning. LuQee, You also from Ipoh kan? Johnson, which goliath should i get my hands on That WONT burst my 4ft. |

QUOTE(kakarocht @ Nov 26 2012, 11:04 AM) if you diy the cost is cheaper than that including the pvc, pvc parts, drills and etc. It's 4*1.8*1.8 try to do it you'll know how to diy it. just follow the steps like i made then should be no problem at all. cos i do that kind of filter is easy to maintain be it 3 trays or above should be no problem. just the matters is what kind of filter you're looking for. maybe i can try to gives you some ideas and what kind of material you need. you mention your aquarium is 4 feet x 2 rite? |

QUOTE(antzz @ Nov 26 2012, 02:27 PM) I just to a fren, a garden supply business owner. He can supply up to 11 feet fiberglass tank + long side glass, if i abandon the cement pond idea. About look, he recommended wood frames, as it is movable & got authentic look too (I'm thinking, i might ask for a wooden deck as well, but will cost a nuclear bomb to my pocket) Antzz, Do u know this guy Raymond Soon from Century Religious Supply? Been eyeing his products for years, but he's far in penang.. I totally understand this, i want this kinda tank as well! But we're gonna need a lot of space for this dream  11ft?! Show us the pictures and price tag! Kakarocht, Thanks for the lists but i only understand till the "drill bit" parts  LuQee, You cepat survey TetraTec. Maybe can join the pre-order before closes 15/12 (for me )I cant find any Marineland C-Series in Taobao. TetraTec Canister |
