HOW TO: Build a fully integrated aquarium filter - Internal sump TUTORIAL

Late to the party - but currently building an AIO aquarium. Different to his - but same concept

How would a clean be carried out on a system like this? For example if the mechanical filtration gets all gunked up etc.

I just bought an 80L aquarium with a build in back sump filter.
How many Litres per hour should be the water pump?
A 400L/h (5x 80) should be enough?

I tried this on my tank and i cant get flow right... moment i put any kind of matter in the chambers, it slows flow to the pump and main tank overflows.. tried making it so it overflows into first chambers but it keeps tbat cbamber high whilst last twk chambers always lack flow due to sponges and media... no idea what to do

HELP! can anyone please tell me WHAT GLUE did he use to bond plexiglass on glass?? or am I mistaken - is the aquarium made of plexiglass as well?

How do i calculate hole size and number

Love this. First video I’ve come across about internal sunp pump even after searching DIY aquarium sump pump filer.

Thanks for putting this together and posting. Very accessible.

cant you just not make an over flow up top and make a hole midway in the 1st section with a strainer and it will act as a filter that way?

You are a generous bro✌️

I love these aio filters! Lots of room for media and equipment! Plus it’s with there where I can keep an eye on it

Hey Joey, have you heard about a new filter that is being sold by "Swiss Tropical"? I saw this and will probably by this for my own tank.... But I think wit woud solve your problejs with corner inserted items, along with a way to station your Overflow Valve system.....

Good job ! what kind of glue u use ?? can u add a link

Partritions?

From the comments I can assume you wont answer, but i was wondering how loud the fluidized media is?

This is why this mans the king - nothing like this on utube apart from joey channel

I'm not sure what happened but I've been subscribed to you for years and just realized, after finding this video, that it unsubscribed me.. and I dont know how long ago. Sorry man!

Can this full integrated setup be used for a 5×2×2.5

Saludos me parece que ese sistema hace mucho ruido y estar cerca seria incomodo

Cool video....some solid ideas 💡 got me thinking dude.

So what is better back filter or sump ?? Can you make a complete episode ? I need to hear you talking for an hour

Can you use vanguard sheets?

Have you made a 3d background filter and if so where would you get the background

Which chamber does heater go into

Super cool thing. I made one in my 4 feet tank. Thanks from India🙏

Lol old Joey

Great video, but it would have been easier and better to saw wier type slits.

Tip: put a piece of wood underneath the acrylic before you drill and should help with avoiding cracks

I wonder if it's possible to install a compartment like that in the middle of the aquarium, to split it into 2 parts operating on one filtration system?

Can't believe that this was 4 years ago. I've made at least 2 tanks with this vid and only today realized I've never liked it

I can notice him m looking at a teleprompter

Hey Joey any input on pumps for a 63US gallon tank. Or a 240 Liter tank europe. my pump sounds like a car lol

Doing this on my 75 gallon soon

Красава!

You just fixed my betta fish tank dilemma, or at least gave me something to build on

Joey I go back and watch your old videos because they are helpful and personally I think you do the best DIY videos in the hobby, though I suspect that China's entry into our hobby makes it cheaper to buy some things than it otherwise used to be.
This system is great! Yeah it takes away some space, but it removes the ugliness of everything hanging off the tank. Sure, now you can buy a fully integrated tank from Fluval and a few others, but the price is nuts! I am pretty sure using the thin material, using your equipment, heater etc is a lot less expensive to turn a used tank (all of my tanks are used) into an integrated tank can be done cheaper than buying a similar tank off the shelf. There are many of us who just like DIY. It is what we live for.
Thanks Joey, I know I'm late to the party, but just getting back into a hobby, means folks like you are very helpful to people like me.

What is fluidised bed?

This is great. May be you can do a video about how to hide my heater, canister pipes, intakes, wires using this method. Think i need to spray paint acrylic black, with my black background. Thanks

What would be a recommendation for 55 gallon tank? Back or side wall?


edit: This will be a saltwater reef setup. I am torn between this and a canister filter.

currently working on a project using this for a Red Claw Crab aquarium, it really solved my filtration issue while trying to make it look as natural as I can

Sir you are great

What kind of pump are you using here?

Is there a cheaper way to make this? Can I do plastic instead of acrylic?

Jesus I love this guy, anything i look up re-guarding aquariums, he comes up. God bless, keep it up!

How do you calculate size of intake and pump size? Is that info in your book?

I think I’m going to do this instead of paying an arm and a leg for an innovative marine tank that does the same thing

I like to watching your videos I like to put aquarium but in here water problem

I have a 8x2x2 tank and I'm thinking of doing this all the way at the back of it but only thing that's stopping me is the overflow dont want to wake up to most of my tank water on floor so what do u surgest doing coukd u do a big tank with same type of idea all the way along the back to show me thanks

Very nice...sir tell me about bottom side fish waste cleaning filteration..I have 4 feet fresh water aquarium...my filteration unable to clean the bottom side fish waste....

Can I use this design for discus breeding thank? Joey plz let me know thanks
