Bubble Up Air Filter

[DutchKiwiCowboy2]

Last weekend I made a Bubble Up Air filter for my breeding tank. I saw a picture of one in my breeding book and when I couldn't find one at the pet store I decided to make one.

I geuss it works in a simmilar way to a Bio Wheel.

I used 4mm garden sprinkler equipment to make this.

You will need *4 elbow joints

*1 T joint

*A piece of ridged sprinkler tubing

*Aquarium sponge

*Air hose and pump

Start with a length of tubing from your substrate to the water surface, put the T joint approx. 1/4 of the way up.

Elbow at the top to direct water along water surface

Elbow at the bottem. Another piece of tubing leading to another elbow.

Put a piece of tubing pointing up onto this.

At this point the whole thing should have the shape of a "J".

The small end gets a few holes drilled through it and then gets covered with a sponge. Start with one hole and add more if necessary.

Connect a piece of air hose to the T joint. add the last elbow and carry on with air hose. (this last elbow is to prevent the air hose pushing the whole thing over.

I hope this all makes sense. If not I will do my best to clarify any queries.

Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera at the mo but I will see what I can do. Might take a while though.
