Tutorial for making fish tank filtration system

The tutorial for making fish tank filtration system is as follows:

I. Material preparation

1, spell * * to buy a separate parts box, the specifications are determined according to the size of my own fish tank. My fish tank is 40*60*80cm, and I bought 600* 1 17*90mm, and the price is less than 10 yuan. There is no need to buy a middle partition.

2. Buy a 25mm ball valve with rubber mouth, a 25mm elbow with rubber mouth and two bottle caps with water plugging. The total price is around 6 yuan. If the fish tank is small, you can use 20 mm. This thickness is related to the water output. Of course, it is best to cooperate with your fish tank and water pump.

3. The length of pvc pipe whose outer diameter is as thick as that of ball valve and elbow depends on the fish tank, which is almost1.2m. ..

Every family has a round food can, which can be put directly in the compartment.

If there is an electric drill at home, buy a drill and hacksaw as thick as the inner diameter of the ball valve.

Second, production.

1. Cut one side of the spare parts box with wallpaper knife, and hang it on the fish tank with iron sheet, preferably aluminum sheet, to avoid rusting. The height of the fish tank with cover shall be subject to the fact that the food box will not affect the fish tank cover when it is put into the spare parts box, and the bottom of the spare parts box is punched opposite to the water pump as the water outlet.

2. Put the food box in the parts box, and punch two holes in the corresponding position, with the slightly higher one near the water pump as the water inlet hole and the slightly lower one 1 cm as the water outlet hole.

3. A ball valve is added in the middle of 3.pvc pipe. It is convenient to adjust the height of the ball valve at ordinary times, and no water enters. The amount of water can be controlled. The upper end is connected with the food box by an elbow, and the lower end is connected with the water pump. The water retaining cap is detached from the saw blade and sleeved on both sides of the water inlet pipe of the food box, which increases the reliability. The other water plugging cap is opened (usually two are sent) and inserted into the water outlet at the other end of the vegetable box.

4. Punch holes on one side of the remaining pvc pipes, each about 2 cm long, and cut them into appropriate lengths. They are used as rainwater pipes to connect the water outlet holes of food boxes, which is convenient for removing rainwater pipes when cleaning filter cotton. The other end of the pvc pipe can be plugged with a water plugging cap or foam.

At this point, the whole filter element is completed, and there is no need to glue the joint to reduce pollution. Filter materials can be placed in the parts box according to your preference. I use a germ room, with filter cotton on the second floor of the parts box, a small rag on it, and filter cotton in the food box, forming a double-layer filtration system. Because of the double-layer filtration, and the whole filtration system is not large and beautiful, the filtration effect is still very good. Using stones to control the water output of parts boxes can avoid or produce fish tanks.
