Procedure is still to be followed. Might not get this month to work on it. Here is the pic on the underside of cap, where i would need a reducer to connect it to the outlet of pump. Can i use brass reducer in it if i don't get plastic one.bobvin wrote:please show here the full procedure.

Re: DIY canister
Good concept ... Brass is not recommended.. Try S Steel or even GI will do... please use teflon tape in joints. I think you have to place the feeding pump inside the tank..! Any alternative plan?

Re: DIY canister
Dont use brass connector. make sure to connect every part very firm and have patience while everything glues together
All the best.

Re: DIY canister
Hi Guys,
I am really sorry haven't update for so long on this. Fish keeping had only limited to only changing water only for so many months. I had made the working model month back but then didn't get time to install it.
The pictures are self explanatory and would tell all the steps. Now I know it works without any leakage would work on a bigger and better model. I had used filter can of old aqua guard water purifier. All the things I have sourced from shop dealing in water purifiers and costly my just around 500 bucks. I had not used the bigger can as shown in the previous posts as first i want to check if it works. The flow of water seems little less so I would use pump of higher power next time.
Since everything is made to fit in so no chances of leakages are there. A desi model of this filter can is available in market for 100 bucks or so.
