renman303 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 So, I decided to build a self-filtering vacuum setup. But not just a self-filtering setup, a vacuum that you could use on your rocks and corals for algae and mostly, Cyano Bacteria. This is extremely crude but, it cost me a whopping $10 to make and about 30 minutes time. I was tired of constantly wasting 20 gallons of water during vacuuming. But, more importantly, I wanted a way to discard the cyano and other nuisance things like algae to be filtered out for good. This filter uses a standard wool filter bag from BRS, and two pieces of 4" PVC. Easily washed out with a hose. No screws, no glue. The filter mechanism is sitting in my 55 gal. refug. in the garage. I have a knockout in the wall between the garage and the reef-tank room that I run the hose from the tank to the sump. Sorry, I'm not a video guru! Tell me what you think? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
