Post Your Bucket Filters!

[Conner]

lol, Sorry Dan, What I should have said was, Drilling a hundred tiny holes in plastic sucks. Was it as frustrating for you as I always found it?

This would have been a great quote if it had read:

"Was it as frustrating for you as it was for me?"

I'm working on some more bucket bio-filters, these ones using submerged bio-balls.

I started with the cut-off bottom of a 4-gallon bucket that I drilled and attached a 1" thin-wall standpipe to. This goes into a 7.5-gallon bucket, the standpipe is attached to an ell and discharges out the side of the bucket. A drip plate on top disperses the water from the Rio 2500 pump.

I am going to cover the perforated intake tube with plastic screen and some 100 micron felt, but I haven't in the photo.

Also, I designed the filter to dump into a second 5-gallon bio-filter standing next to it, but I still need to build it.

I will post photos of it up and running when I get it done.
