I have been building my own filters for quite some time now. I was just curious to see what kind of interesting things other people are coming up with. Im not so interested in exact duplicates of store-bought models, but rather designs borne from the minds of the common folk.

There is a really neat one somebody posted a link to a while back - you can keep fry in it and stuff - it's made out of a mayonnaise jar or something similar. Perhaps some helpful soul will repost the link.

do your filters work well?
would the filter with the horizontal chambers be considered a sump filter?
would the vertical filter also be a sump ? or does it need to be submerged?

Creative. Inventive. Inexpensive. I like it!
I don't know how many times I've thought of doing something like your trickle filter. The only thing that stops me is that I know my power goes off at the drop of a hat and if it stayed off I might have a floor full of water.
But I really do like yours. How well does it work?

This thread is long and documents the many design changes this guy went through.

Properly constructed DIY will not flood the floor when the power goes out. See this thread,
http://forum.nanfa.o...?showtopic=2720 , where Dan discusses how he constructed a "no flood" PVC overflow.
