How To Make a Mini Canister Filter For Nano Aquariums! 

Mini Lily Pipes (Global Shipping!🌎) terrariumdesigns.co.uk/products/lily-pipe-outlet

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.

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

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😊

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.

You have inspired me to do my first nano scape and i just want to say thank you so much!

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.

Great job with the lily pipes, the sand is a clever trick.

BRILLIANT! 🤩

Mind blown 😮😅 simple, elegant DIY design. Ok, I need 3 😂

Bought the pipes, excited to try making the filter!

Fantastic idea, well done! I love your attention to detail, it looks very professional.

i made my first cannister filter and its so easy i was wonder if i did it wrong. nope! next time i might use a cannister bigger than the tank itself

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.

wow, awesome design, i was was thinking as a mini diatom as i have many jar ecosphere aquarium which at times water does get cloudy.great job and great step by steps.

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!

Yes you finally make the filter ❤❤❤❤❤

This is awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic job. I’m definitely going to make a few of these

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is absolutely awesome! Thank you very much :)

Very nicely done and explanations.

This looks awesome 😮

This is amazing!!!

Thanks for sharing such a great idea

Pop off man. This is a great video!

Thanku for making this video I. I was waiting for it

Brilliant!

great job, dude 💕💕💕💕

This is 💯 % amazing! You have a new sub mate 👍

amazing

Muy educativo.

❤❤❤

wow everybody so grown up, not one comment on the 1:32, this is not the internet I grew up with

great vid

Amazing work 😊

Very cool build!

Useful vedio

Quick question, could you fit a check valve onto the output pipe? Great video! 😄

Awesome

Great video! Looking forward to try!

Would you not want the coarse filter sponge first? So the fine filter floss doesn't get gummed up as quick.

Wonderful video. Is there any reason that the fine filter is at the top closer to water intake (flow in) and then the coarse filter?

THX for the video! 🥰👍

brilliant work!

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?

How is that pump once the filter gets a bit "clogged" does it need alot of cleaning? Will the flow drop

Nice job. Just i want to ask if pump still works ? ... sticker on it say : with water only ...dont need to be submered ?

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

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?

Can I use salt fill to pipe? I imagine salt more easily flushed with water

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 you use two 8mm instead of an 8mm and a 10mm?

Waiting for huge paludarium🎉😊That paludarium for vampire crabs?????

I would gladly purchase this filter if you could make them and ship to the US 😜

I'll save it to make nano tank for my mom later

Is there a way to regulate the outflow any ideas?

Did you give tierra epica permission to use your video?

When will you restock?

Do you think we can switch the in and out flow placements?

Why would you want the water to contact the fine filter media before the coarse sponge?

Can I use it in 25-30 liter aquariums? Should I use a bigger one?

Always use plumbers tape on all of the threading

Hi! 💚

Do you have a link for the pump you're using?

Can I just use silicone pipe?

Where do u get the insects from for your ecosystems

bom dia qual bomba(motor) vc usou no filtro

Hey, im new here and im really like your vid. For ecosystem, can i use a cocopeat? If i can, should make it wet?

bagus sih om, hang on saja lah biar gak ribet kalo kecil mah

You have the flow backwards, inlet should be at the bottom, outlet at the top. Like eheim

I can't find a cup like that to save my life lol.. Anyone have an amazon link to something similar that I can't seem to find. How much larger can it be? 500ml to large? 250 to small? Thanks :)

is there a reason you don’t use charcoal in the canister? wouldn’t that promote healthy biome?

If i buy the e-book does it work in the Netherlands? 💚

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.

Can. I use this for a Newt set up ?

So sad you’re sold out of everything Guess that’s really a good thing g tho ❤

Sangat berbahaya pompa sible di luar air,,, 😱😱😱😱

Any idea where I can get these supplies in the US

Can i buy this from you😂

hey! this filter was awesome! but i wanna request something, can you PLEASE like.. please do a desk setup glass BOWL aquarium? with just lemon shrimps (neocardina shrimps to be exact) and with alot of carpeting-plants! will appreciate ALOT if you did this with this comment on top :D

Early

Does anyone else think he sounds a lot like John Oliver? 😅

The way you talk is a bit annoying. I can't explain it. Monotone? Same pattern of tone over and over again? Idk. Great video, though.

wasting your time. I did different think in my pond and posted here check out.

Everything but the canister copied from another video.. no credit deserved!
