In-line sand filter Ideas ( fluidized bed )

[crowndroyal]

I have been wanting to make a nice in-line sand filter for my aquarium but I have never found any that are in-line just ones that always go inside the aquarium. I can buy inline ones but they are awfully expensive for plastic pieces. 


I really like the look of this one

I like the idea. I'm going to be putting together and easily maintainable carbon reactor of sorts. Just something that I can quickly change out carbon from. It will be a smaller trunk line off of my main output hoses that will have shut off valves and will unscrew like a home water filter does. Most likely will be one of those.

I have seen really good results when carbon is regularly used. It's just such a PIB to change it out of an FX5 every month. Let alone 5 of them.

Oh I totally agree about changing the media. I am also glad that you are not one of them Carbon is useless people.  Carbon does a lot more then people realize.
