Instead of sand you could use salt. It would rinse out easily with water when you're done and would have a lower chance of scratching the plastic.
Instead of salt he could use sugar 😂
Just tried the salt & it works great! Much easier to wash out with some warm water. Thanks for the idea😃
@@TerrariumDesigns Awesome. I can't take credit for that though. Saw Dean do it in an Aquarium Co-op video a few years ago.
@@Sandhills_nature_hobbies you're a good dude
No, just do sand changes every so often. Once every 6 months or year
Slick job! I think it's very important to know the purpose of filters in aquarium ecosystems. As a kid, I thought they are only for sucking debris, when the main purpose of course is helping with balancing the nitrogen cycle
That exactly what I thought when I was younger too!
Ideally we'd word that a bit differently but the point still stands! The main purpose is biological filtration for sure
You have inspired me to do my first nano scape and i just want to say thank you so much!
Fantastic idea, well done! I love your attention to detail, it looks very professional.
This is awesome! Really good idea for me to use in conjunction with DIY reptile water fountains for the picky drinkers. Upsizing for bigger reptiles that like a good soak to help keep things clean between cleanings.
Great job with the lily pipes, the sand is a clever trick.
This is excellent! I love the detail of your video and plan to try and make my own. I just bought my first canister filter and love how low profile it is in the aquarium.
Glad you enjoyed it! That’s the reason I love them too, especially in smaller scapes where an internal filter would block up too much space
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing, I am actually in need of this very thing right now for my desk paludarium. Perfect timeing on your video. I'll take a set of those lily pipes as well.
I've been using diy canisters for last 8 years.turns our they're really really inexpensive to make with some basic diy skills and tools and still works just as good as the commercial ones😊
How did you make it? Show us
Of course they work just as good as commercial ones! Just make sure you get a pump that has the same flow rate, and head pressure (so it can stand below your tank and pump water to at least 1.5m) and only use 20-30PPI foam as biological media! It's the best both when it comes to biological filtration, and when it comes to price!
@@avijitsikdar5514 i made it pvc pipes. Search "Om Fery Canister Filter"
Fantastic job. I’m definitely going to make a few of these
This is absolutely awesome! Thank you very much :)
Bought the pipes, excited to try making the filter!
Appreciate it! They’ll be posted out tomorrow:)
Absolutely Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing such a great idea
This looks awesome 😮
Mind blown 😮😅 simple, elegant DIY design. Ok, I need 3 😂
Yes you finally make the filter ❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing work 😊
This is amazing!!!
Thanku for making this video I.
I was waiting for it
Great video! Looking forward to try!
brilliant work!
THX for the video! 🥰👍
BRILLIANT! 🤩
Thanks mate!💚
Pop off man. This is a great video!
Thanks mate!
This is 💯 % amazing! You have a new sub mate 👍
I appreciate it!
Very cool build!
Brilliant!
great job, dude 💕💕💕💕
Thank you!
Nice one mate! You can get plastic pipe bending kits from PC stores that came with handy templates and bendable silicone insert to stop it collapsing. You'll save yourself some time not having to clean-out the sand!
great vid
wow everybody so grown up, not one comment on the 1:32, this is not the internet I grew up with
fortunately for us the whole world grew up, maybe the issue lies with you.
amazing
Useful vedio
Muy educativo.
❤❤❤
Hi. Thanks heaps for this video, I’m going to try this for my small 10 litre planted bowl. Do you have any suggestions to control the out flow into the bowl?
Did you give tierra epica permission to use your video?
Hey, im new here and im really like your vid. For ecosystem, can i use a cocopeat? If i can, should make it wet?
How is that pump once the filter gets a bit "clogged" does it need alot of cleaning? Will the flow drop
bom dia

Hi I have a question. I once made my first Terrarium and then all my moss was a beautiful light green but then soon after 2 days it became in ugly version of itself... Dark green. I don't know how it happened, can you please help me
Can. I use this for a Newt set up ?
Nice job. Just i want to ask if pump still works ? ... sticker on it say : with water only ...dont need to be submered ?
Can I use it in 25-30 liter aquariums? Should I use a bigger one?
Where do u get the insects from for your ecosystems
Can you use two 8mm instead of an 8mm and a 10mm?
I love your videos but I have a question, do plants need to be put in the soil at their roots or just set on top of the soil? Or does it vary between plants? I cannot find an answer anywhere
Why would you want the water to contact the fine filter media before the coarse sponge?
Hi! 💚
Can I just use silicone pipe?
I have a question. I’m building my first terrarium. It’s a 0.8717678 Gallon ( or 3.3 L ) glass. And I have everything from your Guides : plants, drainage layer, springtails… but for the substrate I only have Coco fiber, spagnum mossing and charcoal. Do I need the other 2 thinks you are putting in your Mix? And how tall schould be the drainage layer for such a big glass?
I'm not him but I would recommend worm castings as well for the substrate, as it provides nutrients for the plants. I'm not sure the exact height and width of the glass you're using, but if imagining if its a foot tall, I would use about 2 inches of drainage, 2-3 inches of substrate and the remaining area for all the plants. Hope this helps!
Thank you ❤
Can I use salt fill to pipe?
I imagine salt more easily flushed with water
Yes
If i buy the e-book does it work in the Netherlands? 💚
It’s not translated, but yes you will be able to get it:)
@@TerrariumDesigns that is no problem, i will buy it! 💚
Problem that super glue will not hold over time when it´s in water! It will not attach to many sort of plastic witch many containers are made of.
is there a reason you don’t use charcoal in the canister? wouldn’t that promote healthy biome?
Would you not want the coarse filter sponge first? So the fine filter floss doesn't get gummed up as quick.
Any idea where I can get these supplies in the US
US link are in the description:)

Always use plumbers tape on all of the threading
