DIY Trickle Filter Mini | Top Filter Aquarium

Low budget is not a big deal as in this video if will show you how easy it is to build a DIY trickle filter mini for your aquarium from the supplies available at home. This shower filter will sit on top of the aquarium which also makes it an overhead aquarium sump or a top filter aquarium.
Select your container for Trickle filtration, i always like to make a filter pad tray but this step is completely optional. Height of the hose cutting is very crucial as it decides if the water will flow over the top of media or it would flow through the filter media, i hope it made sense. You can glue the container to the lid, but again this step is optional but will ensure that your built is pretty sturdy. I found measuring before cutting very handy as all the holes are precisely cut. Use any marker and take your time when you do the cutting.
I usually use 3 forms of mechanical filter media in my overhead sumps but in this video i have used fine foam only as the trickle/shower filter is aimed to filter small tanks. Bio media is selected based on what i have had available at home. I am pretty sure as Fishaholics, you will have some supply of filtration and now is the best time to put them in use. Always ensure that containers, filter media and hose is pre-washed prior to using it in the aquarium.
Supplies:
3 x 1L plastic container
3 x short pieces of a spare hose
Glue
Soldering Iron
Aquarium Filter Media

Great video on building a trickle filter sump for a mini aquarium. I am sure the same method can be used to build a larger trickle filter for bigger tanks.

[@mukeshsagari8745]

Very good technique
But need bit of explanation
Size of container which silicon you have used gravel's so that we can get idea which quality is best in market
But over all video is good

[@Fishaholic]

Hi Mukesh, Thank you for watching the video. I have used 3 x 1 L containers and silicone is Selley Glass Silicone. Filter media is just a generic ceramic media "Made in China" and gravel is polished colorful gravel that came with the aquarium. I hope it answers your question and definitely will add such information to future videos.
Thanks once again and enjoy your weekend.

[@emersonjohn011]

Ano alternative if walang ceramic ring?

[@Fishaholic]

Hi Emerson, use any bio media as they all work well. I had spare ceramic rings so put them to good use.

[@jjcale2288]

That is a disgusting little aquarium but nevertheless the filter is great.

[@Fishaholic]

Thanks JJ, aquarium is no doubt a very basic starter kit. I have transformed similar aquarium in to planted tank with shrimps and have uploaded those video on channel. I hope you would like it. Appreciate your time watching this video.
