Today I will share with you a small fish tank filter that was DIY-modified using plastic bottles.

The picture above is the final rendering of my small fish tank placed in the office.
The following is a step-by-step tutorial on the transformation:
My small tank is 30*20*20. The one I bought feels smaller and not cheap. I might as well make one myself. I took a photo yesterday and needed it. After receiving the goods, you can start making them. I bought the filter cotton before, and I am going to find a bucket to cut it and use it. In the exploration stage...
I happened to get one for lunch today. The big Coke bottle is just used as a filter box. It feels just right.
I received the small water pump I bought online today and started filtering, but it feels like This thing is so small, so mini
The things that need to be prepared are relatively simple and made from local materials. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder or those who pursue perfection can ignore me. . . . . .
Start it. First, use a wallpaper knife to dig a hole that you think is suitable, and put the filter cotton and filter material in it. I seem to have cut it a little small. No way, I have small hands (ps: be careful, this thing is very dangerous, you can cut your hand accidentally)
The next step is to poke some small eyes on the opposite side of the hole, for dripping water into the fish tank. It is best not to poke too big. The ones I poked were too big. Use them first and try again another day. Mao He Mao He
Then just put the filter cotton and filter material inside. Please don’t ask me what’s in the filter material, I don’t know either, haha
The filter box is finished here. The next step is to put it on the fish tank and put the water pipe in. Of course, I also tried putting the air stone in and placed it on the filter material. below, but because the sound was too loud, I took it out again. The air stone was pulled out from the water fairy (the water fairy has been cut into pieces by me...)
The air stone and water pipe are inserted through the mouth of the bottle. This is how it looks after the air stone and water pipe are put in.
Let’s take a look at the finished product. If there are too many holes at the bottom, water cannot be stored inside, so it is better to make the holes smaller or less. It can store water. Those filter materials So that it can function better
After filtering for a short while, the filter cotton was obviously dirty.
