Thank you both. I saw those videos, and therefore planning to do those projects. Instead of throwing away stuff.
Question with tank rebuild:
1. I would like to have all 4 sides (Left, Right, front, bottom) as glass and the back as plywood. Should I make the bottom as plywood for more strength?
2. If the plywood is bigger(inch more); then I can silicone the back panel from both side; inside and out. Do you think is it an overkill?
Canister configuration: 5g home Depot bucket with trays of Guter Guard, Lava Rocks, Polyfill and Carbon. The last layer is for heater and pump separated with the eggcrate.
This has 4 Inputs/outputs connected via manifold.
Issues with DIY filter:
1. Right now it's working with only one tank. If I turn the manifold to turn for additional tanks then the working one stops and the other one start working. I don't understand why is it happening.
2. Sometime with this the canister overflows with water and starts leaking as it's unable to push the water to multiple tanks.
I think my canister filter is currently working as a sump. But the question is again with the output manifold, if it's unable to move the water to all the tanks then, the sump will overflow.
I think I need to understand the manifold to get this working.
Any suggestions would help.
Thank you both.
