fluidized bio ball bed filter

Heres some pics of my diy fluidized bed filter made with bio balls. The tank is a hex tank that will sit under my 75 hex. Hopefully it will be very effective as it will be filtering some very messy goldfish!



sorry for the bad pic. I cant get a video on here but keep in mind these are floating bio balls so any you see not on top are otw up.

WOW!.upon thinking about this wouldnt this filtration be sufficient for a small pond?are you gojng to add anything to the chamber aside from the bio balls?any sinking medias.oh and pretty sweet i never would have thought of that.

yep that is the plan If this works i will be using something similar to it on my pond i plan on building. and idkabout the other media. its surprisingly low flow near the bottom so any suggestions will be very appreciated.

so do you have lights or light going into the filter.was wondering about possible algae.and as far as the bottom do you get any debree down there.its a sump right?if its not that accesable you would probably just want to leave it bare if it is low flow.maybe the ceramic media if it doesnt get any mulm down bellow.you could also put something as a prefilter from the pumps draw.some zeoite or carbon maybe.
