Error is- the intake is already has a filter mesh (whatever) thus it will not clean the waste materials as the filter mesh on the intake will stop it from getting in.
Remedy- Use filter mesh of bigger gaps on the intake, and use narrow gap filter inside the filtration tank before it goes into the pump(or else the pump will get clogged).
And also dont hang the filter on the aquarium, as it may crack the glass due to its weight and constant vibration. you can clamp the filter on haters :p
By the way I respect your efforts.
thanks for reading.
EDIT: PLUS UR WASTING UR TIME MAKING THIS CRAP

But i guess its OK.
anyways good job explaining how to assemble it.
I'm with the guy that posted "or you can spend 20 bucks and wait until it arrives :D" yup, sounds about right Aaron.
I find a good item,recommend to you
I get the DIY aspect of a canister filter, since you can actually save 50% or more of the cost of a canister filter by doing it yourself. But HOBs aren't all that expensive, and to make it yourself isn't saving a great deal of money for the time, effort, and potential problems. My 2c.
But im not sure, but media need to move to works.
I made a prototype of this filter.
My problem is when I switch off the power head, filter was starting to siphon the water out from the filter to tank.
yes its not a problem because filter is carrying small amount of water. But when after it happened I had to prime the filter again. what is reason behind this?

well that's some good info ! thanks for the knowledge ! :)
i actually make a filter that clean the poop and extra food as well, because if not removed within some time it will degrade the water as well so....i dont have to remove the poop "specially" i just have to change the water... and the water looks crystal clear... trust me !!
Why would you want the poop inside the filter? You're supposed to remove the poop during a water change by siphoning it up.
Smaller HOLES for the pipe IN the tank would I still have to cover it ? the purpose of cleaning is to suck the dirt and bring them to the the sump clean it and releasing it to the the tank is it??? just asking?? Thank you.
i wana ask you a question. what is the advantage when you use a top filter or a sump?
However, the only issue, is that these days aquarium equipment on eBay is now going so cheap, its not worth making anything yourself....
Hang on filters on eBay, probably start at the same cost it is to buy all the material needed for this DIY filter. (and it looks ALOT nicer on a tank)
1. Using wood as a holder is a bad idea. He notes not to touch the water but stained/treated wood could potentially leak harmful to toxins into the aquarium just be coming in contact with moisture.
2. Those screws have a lot of pressure on the and over time might Crack the plastic. Would suggest additional screws with washers. Also you would want to silicone the inside and outside for additional protection.
thanks for your post.
man, it might be very cheap to build. You really need a pump (which is fairly cheap), bio media (can be cheap as well), and the PVC pipes. I can say that instead of PVC pipes you could use a garden hose, and instead of a drill you could use a sharp knife. Pump- well, they sell some very cheap ones in China and other Asian countries. Ok I really shouldn't say that but I will (didn't want to advertise)- check ebay, there are tonnes of cheap stuff there. Be crative, good luck and take care :)
