Looks very Nice Paul.
How did you bend the white bracket to hold the small unit?

Model 18 with Venturi ITEM# 40138 Maximum Flow Rate 1800 GPH Watts/Amps 145/1.55 3/4ā FPT Inlet and MPT Outlet |
Model 24 ITEM# 40140 Maximum Flow Rate 2400 GPH Watts/Amps 237/2.2 1ā FPT Inlet and MPT Outlet Dimensions: 7.25" x 4.0" x 6" I used diatom filters, both the Vortex and the Marineland hang on with my tanks when they were small. I think the flow rate through the filter needs to be about 4 times the tank size per hour. McMaster-Carr has a 20 inch clear filter with 1 inch ports and a pressure relief valve that could break the siphon. I would like something slightly larger with a wide mouth but haven't found anything yet. A stand that sits on the floor to hold it. The trick will be to get a bag or element in it that lives over time. I am looking at heat fusible filter material to make my own. Swimming pool diatom powder. perhaps a project to make for the new year |
I would just buy a small pool Diatom filter.How would you make one 5-10x larger? 2500 gph or so.
I have looked at them. I want something in a clear container. I have been looking at wide mouth fermenters with a lid I can put bulkheads in.I would just buy a small pool Diatom filter.
