Hello Guys i like to share my DIY External filter..
From very long time i was planing to get one Canister Filter after seeing too many thing i finally came up with this idea of making this.. I am very much interested in DIY stuff because its cheap and work according we need..The things which i used is easily available to hardware store.
Process of this filter very simple and easy to work..Water gets siphoned into the canister from Top through gravitational force, passing through various media moves downwards into a pump situated at the bottom that throws the water back into the aquarium....When pump is off water flow automatically stop..

1. Parle Plastic Body 20 ₹
2. One 10 ft PVC Pipe 80 ₹ (Only 4 feet used I didnt find small piece)
3. 8 Elbow 10 ₹ each (only 6 used no need of 8 elbows)
4. 2 Connector 25 ₹ each
5. 1 Cooler water pump 90 ₹
6. Fiber Cotton 20 ₹
7. Mseal 25 ₹
