Made My Trickle Filter

[cuprajake]

hey guys bought my bits today,

40 litre bin set £7.00 from instore, came with dish bowl, strainer and cutterly holder

so i used the bin for the filtetr box,

the strainer for the bottom clear water area

then put in the last layer of fine filter

then used corigated plastic tube for the bio balls lol

then covered with a few more layers

then i used some 1.5" to make another clear area covered with foam

ontop of this is going to be my corse filter media,

as for the spinkler section i used the bowl,

the pump pipe will go onto this, and will be cable tied on to it,

so it looks like this

thant is, im fitting it tonight,

only concern is the pump mite over flow the bowl so i mite have to redo that bit lol

You'll have to keep us informed on how it works

well its all done, bit of a night mare really made it a little too big, dont think the pump can hack it lol, there is no chance of it overflowinf, it isn't the torrnet i expected lol, more just a constant flow. it seems to work though.

vid of the working



i mite modyfy the top bowl, to hold more water or add the other pump, only prob is there quite noisy
