but it doesn´t suck from the filter, it only throes bubles up and moves water up and around the transparent tube, Sorry I still don´t see it your way :) I had my model made months ago and I putted the filter in the plastic tube and could see how water went through, thats the proove I have that yours doesn´t really work as a filter, because it does no t move water through the filter, in ither way. :) But I am just giving my opinion to help, I don´t want to bother anybody ok.

@chuchuwhy Okay, think of it this way. Get a cup of water and a straw. Blow air into the straw. See how the air makes the water level rise? Then it sinks, because the water has to fill in the spot the air bubble made when it left the water.

Made this for five gallon guppy fry tank to keep water clear and it works fine only if completely submerged

do you need the sponge

[chuchuwhy]

I dont think it forces water through, look at your model first and compare to an air filter bottom "filter"you need a cone on bottom so the bubbles force water up as the bubbles go to the surface, making gaps of water and bubble, other wise it does not push watter, at the same time, the tube cant be to high or it wont pump as well.

Best regards,

@chuchuwhy You are half correct. See, the filter isn't really a "suction". What happans is the air pump makes bubbles of air. Of course the air pump displaces the water, making some water go out of the filter. Next, the air has to go to the surface, so it rises, and the air leaves an empty space which is filled with water. This is how to the dirt is carried into the filter. Hope this helps! :)

Great idea, but I would recommend a much larger container than the fish flakes container. I made one with a 20 oz. soda bottle. Nice video.
