DIY canister filter

[Khemul]

I am VERY impressed with your DIY canister filter. I wonder if I could ask some questions?

1) Did you use existing threads in the output at the bottom, where the dispenser was located?

2) ON the lid were there already holes you reused? What did you have to do to them or how did you drill them?

3) Since your last post, how has the system worked? Any leaks?

4) Any changes you would make if you were to do it again?

5) Know of any links to threads of others following your design or doing something similar that was successful and you like?

Thanks very much.

Not sure how likely you are to get direct answers. Not only is this thread 6 years old but the OP hasn't been posting here for nearly as long.

Yea, I know. But possible someone here knows where I can find more info on this. also I sent him a PM in the hope that he had notification set on for PMs.

His is one of a very few successful DIY canister filters I have found that is not made out of PVC pipe or only works when level with the tank or requires the lid to be siliconed shut. There are also some lock-n-lock container based ones I have seem but the seal seems to prone to accidentally opening - like a bad version of the Fluval I have now that always makes me nervous whenever I touch it.
