Submersible Aquarium Fountain
Submersible Aquarium Fountain
How can I make my own aquarium filter, using a submersible fountain pump?
Is that possible?
I don't want to buy one. At least, not for more than a few dollars used.
I was also thinking: If I knew how to do it, I could make one that looks much better than those store-bought filters.
So, I can either a) pump the Water up outside the tank and through a series of filters before it spills back into the tank or b) encase the pump in sponge so it sucks the dirty water towards it and the dirt gets stuck?
Are there any other methods?
This would have to be for a good-size aquarium. The only way I can think of doing it is to place the pump on the floor of a plastic box that is filled with plastic filter balls and/or a custom-fit filter pad (sold at Lowe's in the Garden/Pond section). This plastic box would have to have a secure lid (maybe tied on) with a hole cut out of the middle of the lid for the spout (or upright tube) of the pump to stick up and through, plus at least a dozen other quarter-size holes. This box would sit on the floor of the aquarium and the height of the spout would have to be just above the water level. Your submersible fountain pump may need an extension tube to make it tall enough. Also, the pump would have to be turned to it's lowest setting so that it just trickles out of the top of the spout and, in turn, aerates the aquarium water.
