Not done yet...but it's so simple to do I think more people should give it a try
Using a maxijet-1200(295gph) and I still need to make two spray bars.
Problems:
1)Neighbor stole hole saw in mail ._.
2)Realized that PVC is measured by inner diameter...1" hole saw does not work for 1" PVC
-Filter intake of my broken penguin 330 fits perfectly. I cut off a small piece to join PVC from the outside to the inside of the tank.
3)Sister walks into tank and cracks it 30 seconds after I told her not to touch it
Right now I'm planning on switching to a plastic storage bin. Should lower the head pressure and be less fragile than my cracked 10g. I want as much flow as possible since this will be the sole filter for a 75g.
Total cost:
$27 powerhead
$6.50 PVC
$22 1" and 1/2" diamond hole saw set, x 2
$8 10 gallon tank
$63.50 minus media. Not too bad considering how the hole saws are reusable. Just make sure to get the right size
