very nice .. just made 1 today but nothing like that l!!! dam i did a 10gal sump lol

[uarujoey]

@oneeye4331 The fact that you built one is a feat in its own. This filter i made was for a very large tank, housing very expensive fish, so i went a bit over board with it.

Very Cool!!!!

How much did it cost to build? Excluding man hours.

Would you recommand this for a freshwater 90 gallon aquarium?

thanks

[uarujoey]

@TestSubject2000 This cost about $150. It would be way overkill, and a waste of money on a 90gal though, although you could use this size if your really wanted to.

@TestSubject2000 This one cost $150 to build. I made a video on how to build it, i think it was pretty simple.

[570Runna]

how much electric does that run you?

[uarujoey]

@570Runna not much. Depends on the pump wattage.

@Frankygotti Its not for sale.

hey joey good job on the sump, i love ur ray and panda gold arowana tank!, i have joined the MFK forum and i decided to start with a small tank its 10' x 2' x 1.5' (im getting the tank for free) filtration ideas? i was thinking a wet dry cuz i get free bio balls and i got a great trade for some livestock (a few african cichlids for 2 rit rays). what should do for gph? what kind of stand should i make? (if u where wonderng where i get all the free stuff my dad works at the mn zoo).

@uarujoey

Thanks for you quick answer. I've watch your other video and it realy motivated me to, as a mid-terme goal, build my own acrylic 180 gallon tank, stand and filtration systeme. As for the short-terme I will follow you budget Wet-Dry filter build.

What water pump could you suggest?

Thanks

Alex

always wanted to do stuff like this to my fishtank, but its a lot of head hurting if you aren't experrienced, guess ill have to slowly build and test things out first
