With the bigger build stuff out of the way, i'll move MUCH faster now. Videos will be out every 2 days moving forward!!
Sounds great to me
I was really hopping. OFR was going to take some of your advice. They are great guys with an awesome channel. Thanks Joey for all your help. I'm building a filter for my 180 and using alot of your ideas and plans I to this filter build
Pretty cool idea I like it
I miss the Tuesday Thursday Sunday routine.
Great news Joey
I forgot how good Joey was at DIY. It's almost as if he was the king of it.
Was? Looks like the man still is!
but not likely
Thank you Joey this is what makes you the King of DIY! I'm so broke right now and I'm trying to set up an aquarium this was the perfect solution for what I'm trying to achieve. Luckily I have a few small pumps and some acrylic and I think I can figure it out now! I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend and thank you for sharing 💪🙏
❤️🥰🌿🐟🌿🙌
You know what joey ! You always come up with something that I find so helpful ! You do really care and help your viewers better there own tanks without trying to promote any brands they need a loan to buy 😂 being in the uk in Newcastle aquarium products are expensive so I try to replicate your ideas when I can ! This filter is getting made this week ! you have made this hobby affordable and enjoyable for me in the last few years thank you !
Let’s go new video! I’ve been watching for about 7 years now!
Oooo classic King of DIY. This is great.
How to make AIO tanks 👏.
Can get those polycarbonate panels in black, or tinted black too. I just see algae growth inside of these becoming an unsightly issue for some
If I ever did a big tank I would definitely consider this type of filter. I like the ones that fit in the background.
Videos been out for 10 seconds, already 5 likes.
Love the filters, gonna have to do this with future tanks
Last night I started doing this with the black acrylic glass that you have done in the past. Doing it for a dumbo mosaic guppies planted tank. Love your channel and been a following you for 6 years now and learned so much from you. Keep up the good work!!!
That filter is a great idea I can’t wait to see the new scaped tanks and what you’re putting in them
Joey, you’re like a mad scientist when it comes to DIY lol, love it 😎
Love the simplicity of this.
You got me looking at my 30 gallon tall. I’ve really have to say sumps are the best form of filtration; I’ve haven’t had an in tank sump yet. Thanks the inspiration, Fired Up!!!
Could put a heater in the return. Makes sense because the pump will push the heat around the tank and help heat evenly.
I truly love how on fire you are about sharing what you love. It is inspiring to watch and I love the creative ideas you have that bring so much to your aquariums and also to your presentation in your videos. I have learned so much in the short time since i discovered your channel and I truly appreciate you sharing all of the cost effective and resourceful solutions you come up with and how clearly you explain things. Keep doing what you do and never stop. You are providing an invaluable resource to those of us that share a love for various aquatic stuffs. My turtle, Bowser (Mario Bros reference), and his abnormally and freakishly large goldfish roomie, Cleo (Pinocchio reference), 2 plecos, and 3 minnows and a surprisingly fast breeding mess of mystery snails, also extend their heartfelt gratitude for teaching me things that help keep their tank healthy and them happy. They will soon be moving into a much more spacious 55 gallon with a diy basking platform on top (so Bowser can work on his tan more), from their current 29 gallon and your videos have helped me have a good understanding of filtration and tank health and I am now confident that I can diy an awesome filtration system without breaking the bank. I currently have a Fluval 107 canister filter and a hang on double waterfall filter (ugly with a way too strong flowing output) and also under gravel filtration because i figured why not so i know i will need to beef up the filtration because of the bigger tank and ive been trying to decide on what kind to make. I am diy-ing a surface skimmer currently to put the Fluval input tube down into to keep plant parts from clogging the input up as much so hopefully that works like i want it to and am making some fake rocks for the basking platform wall to hide the guts of the platform and make it prettier hopefully. Anyways, i just wanted to share my appreciations and bowsers tank stuff with you and hopefully you enjoyed reading this novel i have just written here and i wouldn't be mad if you had any advice or must watch videos you could direct me to that are also relevant to my situation possibly. Ok so if you are still reading this i will end by saying thank you for your passion and bye.
I built this sump in a 10 gallon. I know the amount of filtration is way over kill, but I can hide literally everything back there and do a really nice scape without anything extra in sight. Thanks for all the projects over the years. I cant wait to see what you inspire me to do next.
one of my all-time favorites and actually this is how i got to be a follower of the king of DIY
i once made a tanl with this filtration system on both sides.
I love that filter. I saw these boards on Home Depot and they are inexpensive. Don't remember the price right now but it was cheap. Too bad I already have my glass lids. Lol
Yep, HD is the place.
Joey gave a superb presentation to the Sacramento Aquarium Society last month. Informative, entertaining, very likable.
Bro is the goat.
Do you need flow so the filter will work more faster and efficient
I don't know if you read all the comments, but on your last video this is exactly what I asked for. I have a 240 gallon on the way and I want to build an internal filter just like this. I know you've built filters like this in your past videos. I really like the moving bed filter you made.
Bro, it's awesome to see you fired up again! Can't wait to see what's next. 😁
Love watching u really made me want to start my fish hobby
I made the diy pond skimmer you showed a little while back with my 600gph pump pond stays crystal clear thank you man love your content
Unlike other youtubers , who use materials available at home to prove low cost of their build, Joe always shows the actual cost if you buy all new from store
A very creative build that reflects your years of experience,
Thanks,
Jim
I love internal filtration! The only filters I use are from your design from LONG ago built from pvc and strong pumps with an airline. Don't have to worry about water outside of the tank and I only have to clean them every 4 months!
What is the name of the video ? Thanks
I loved the filtration system I have to try to make one a huge hug and greetings from Tijuana Mexico
I like the Slim Overflows because they take up very little space. I’m sure you would have been able to pipe them separately so both tanks were separate still with sumps, however there is nothing wrong with an internal filter. When done right you get a much easier to maintain system than with a sump.
This video is getting quite a bit of discussion in my group might just consider something like this for the 180! Great video joey
Thank you so much for sharing so many ways of doing filters
Stop tormenting us with little flashes of what's to come 😤 😂😂 anyone else come on CZcams in hopes that the king has uploaded a new video lol 🤣😂
Next videos will be ever 2 days!! Won’t have to hide anything anymore!! 😂
It’s a great in tank method only thing I’d change is putting it on the back wall so it can be hidden behind the background. But I guess your doing it to show the filter in action.
If it were me I’d probably keep it where it’s at but just put like a cool piece of wood or something to cover it, so I can still see it when I want to, but something that looks fresh for other viewers! Putting it in the back is a good idea as well! That was just my thought :)
@@UnityDoesWhatever that works too
@@dreadcthuhlu8560 it be how it be
This is really great. I'm sure you could find black acrylic and use that as the separator and use the cheap boards within the filter to save on cost. Black acrylic might make it look cleaner if you're not going for cheap cheap. I really love this idea and will definitely use this when I some day get a huge tank. I am not a fan of canisters at all and afraid of drilling a tank for a sump. Thank you, Joey, brilliant as always.
You can use pumps without drilling for sumps or refugiums.
In top of that, if you don't want to see anything in the filter, you can paint that small portion in black, or maybe use some stickers so you don't have to go with paint... plenty options
What pump do u use for this?
Hey man using that material GENIUS!!! i just have one request.
What's your request?
Lol will only tell the king
Brilliant !!!
I copied doing this filter system after you did it in the white discus tank. Works great on my saltwater set up I currently have running.
Great design, we can adapt this to any tank, and hide the filter somehow. Your experience and budget keep us from giving this a think ! Hmm, undergravel model?
maby you can paint it? are the colors safe for the inside of an aquerioum?.
I like the new set up for filtration makes it much easier for fast maintenance.
Cool - but bothers me how messy it looks, the holes don’t look evenly spaced etc and that would just drive me mad!
If you took your time you could make it look nice
@@htx_donut_patrol4628 yeah of course!
Brilliant! Great stuff!
Awesome.. wow great filter. Thanks..
Love it! That’s basically the same as the filtration in my Fluval Flex.
looks good ive messed around with hamburg matten filters and this seems like it takes a lot less maintenance, especially if you use a fine substrate
Brilliant totally fantastic never thought of doing this thank you so much wow have two fx6 on mine pain in the arse disconnecting and dragging out from under the cabinet and not wild on sumps this is a game changer
Sure beats FX cannisters, been doing these for ages
Built these for years. All my tanks in my store had this exact same setup
But I used Air in a tube to do the return as it was cheaper to run 65 tanks
Would it not be better to have the intake on the bottom, so it collects dirtier water?
@@mistadobalina1093 with enough flow waste will still get lifted anways.
Never had any build up on the bottom of all 65 tanks
@@ZombieObsidian true, I've got a 1500lph pump on a 3 footer but I still watch it and think the bottom would be better. I made one with a slow pump like that and gave it away
Great idea, built one with parts on hand for a fully contained 10 gallon low flow Betta tank for my daughter.
Wow that's a cool idea IV been wanting to move away fro canister filters and can't fit a sump so might try this
You da man Joey....keep it up dude, great content as always.
All your tank is very nice
Very cool either way man, it's always nice to see the many ways you can do filtration in this hobby. I remember when garbage cans were innovative canister filters that could hold large volumes. This too is very nice.
Awesome aio system very easy to replicate. Thank you for all these awesome diy videos you have always done Joey
Where do I find the twin wall polycarbonate? And what sealant was used?
Hey hey hey. Still watching the oldies
That was a very smart idea. Great job.
Wow that was a great video.. basic I think we all need the basics for sure thank you enjoy a lot of your videos lately awesome
This is awesome! This hobby has such a high initial set up, but you are here showing you don't need all the fancy hightech gear.
WoW King! What an awesome idea, I've been researching sumps for days, & only now realise it can be safely inside, part of the tank. I might make my new tank wider, with full length glass sump along the back, extra partitions, (etc) & use a pump with built in UV light. Have you stopped using lava rock? Cheers!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I became a member today! Keep up the awesome work.
Iv always wanted you to setup a brackish aquarium.. that's one aquarium I can't wait to see 👌
Can't wait for the stockings vid. Love ur vids man
Love this idea 💡, would love a little more detail on making this so I don't miss or mess anything up for my 180 tank
Question, and sorry if it's already been asked and answered, but if the filter is designed for water to simply flow into the filter via gravity how do you keep it filtered when the water level drops below the filters mouth? Obviously the easy answer is to keep water levels consistent, but many of us in the hobby have periods where we find it impossible to do simple maintenance.
I made the same sump filter in a 50 gallon rank but i made it with glass, for me it's a pretty nice way to filter your tank
Hi Joey love the video. But more I love that filter you build. Now I’m thinking of doing that for my 55 gal tank and make it around 5” wide from the side of the tank.
Yes I love this, this is what I did in my aquariums.
Nice sistem for easy mentenance but the problem is that u dont have an outlet to the buttom and top flow can not manage the buttom detritus wich will stuck to the buttom left side unfortunatly...
Hello Joey, from Alberta
Love to see that you go back to the basic. Its time to learn new things and i like it.
P.s. the k1 media did exactly what you did say and it took 3 months to lose all the no2.
It works perfect
Do you have deep substrate like sand ?
@nellim9239 sorry. Do you ask me. I don't always get it in the commands who is talking to who. And I don't want to think that I am that important that it is by definition to me.
@@PMeer-gc7kw yes, you said it took 3 months to get ride of no2. i wonder if you have deep substrate or sand, thanks :)
@@nellim9239 I use bio foam sponge in my sump before it hit the k1 substrate. That's it.
Easy to use. Easy to clean. K1 likely never needs to be cleaned. It's a self cleaning because the air will get rid of the bad stuff.
The sponge I do every month or so. So that the sump can't and will not overflow if it's gets to dirty.
I hope this will be the answer on your question.
Maybe if I had change the water more often in the first 3 months it would of had be quicker.
I love your diy can i do that also in 75 gallon tank?
What a brilliant idea
love This Joey... thanks for sharing..
Classic king 👑
Ive used this design but with a 3d background in 5 different builds thx joey
So smart! Do you think this could be modified to work in a 5 gallon tank?
I like it. what size of pump?? The reason i ask is now i have to try it
Bro. Been watching since the beginning 🙌 time flys
What type of pump are you using for a return. I understand the basics of sumps ect but can't grasp the return pump stuff.
Loving this filter Joey, quick question...could a 1/4in(6mm) piece of glass be used to divide the filter from the tank? What would be the cons
Absolutely phanomanal
these are my favorite videos!
Always love your DIY builds.
The drawback I see with this is unless you are doing multiple tanks, this is not economical. At least in my area, you can only buy a 4x8 sheet of the panels, they are running $60-70 per sheet and if you want eggcrate light diffuser, it's close to $30 for a 2x4 sheet. If for just one tank, not very affordable IMO. Even acrylic/plexiglass has went through the roof in price.
I got a 4x8 piece at Home Depot for $15 (it is white instead of clear). They had a couple of pieces that were dented and banged up a little at the bottom. Talked to the manager and he knocked the price down to $15. Did get sticker shock today looking at egg crate at Lowes (wasn't thinking far enough ahead to see what Home Depot had). There are some egg crate aquarium dividers on Amazon that don't look too expensive.
If you don't need a full sheet of something (like in this project) if there are some banged up or damaged ones - it is always worth asking if they will discount it.
I am going to make a filter like that coz it looks awesome 👌 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤
What type of pump are you using in that sump... Thank for what you do.
Nice Video! What about the dirt on the substrate? Wouldnt it be a possibility to do a second inflow near the bottom and use a streamline pump to get the dirt in there?
Can I use corrugated plastic for this filter instead of polycarbonate twinwall?
love that filter
Love this filter idea but How could you use a protein skimmer on a filter like that?
Anyway build them filter with air pump Instead of just pump?
That's an absolutely amazing filtration system tanks should be sold with these fitted
Quite a few do. I've got a fluval evo with a similar set up
Loads of tanks have this setup, a lot of the Red Sea tanks but you see this mostly pre build in saltwater tanks.
what size return pump for the correct flow through the filter?
Fluval all in one kits.(Flex, Spec) eat ur heart out lmao
Very nice affordable filter 👌
Fantastic video! Can you list out the materials? Is it just regular construction silicon caulk to attach everything.
I’d like to see if this internal sump can work with smaller tanks. I have a 20gal long and a 40gal tall, and I’m kind of done dealing with external filters (space, noise).
What size pump should i use for a 20 long?
does it matter that the intake and outlet are at the same level ? would it be better to have one of them at the bottom ?
I like the final reveal. I don't need no damn spoilers. Lol
