Broke my filter

Philippines
January 26, 2019 11:41pm CST
It's not like it fell or anything. I saw this video about upgrading it by wrecking the insides so it would have space for the air stone. But it didn't work out like it supposed to be. The bubbles didn't come out right because nothing was coming out of the tube. Instead it came out where the sponge was. I removed it and use the air-stone in the aquarium as replacement. Maybe It would work on a smaller version of it.

I wish it would have turned out the way you wanted it to be.

I am about to buy the same kind of sponge filter my friend even as I type lol! I will use it as back up for my overhead filter. Its only 100 pesos in lazada and guess what its buy 1 take 1 plus 50 pesos shipping. Gonna buy now before it's gone, it's cheap so I think you can continue with your experiment.

@Letranknight2015 maybe so long as the stock lasts, I already ordered. There was one guy there in the review who said he bought 8 pcs and got 16.

@Letranknight2015 I am so sorry it did not work the way it should. I hope the air-stone will help.

Since it's broken, do you tend to buy a new one?

There is a saying do not fix what is broken. Speaking of Aquariums I am considering to have a salt water one eventhough its more high maintenance.

Hello @CaptAlbertWhisker Back in the 90s we used to have a salt water aquarium. I don't think i wanted that high maintenance. I shouldn't have risk it in the first place.

Hello @jstory07 I haven't tried using a smaller air stone, but if it that doesn't even work then I would agree with you.

if you want to upgrade that you can try putting that tube into the inlet of a water pump if it fits... that's a better filter than using air pump...

Oh see, this is for aquarium. have you read the comments of the video, maybe they're bashing it now because it is not effective.

Hello @ilocosboy I think my air stone was too big and saw smaller version of it last time I went there to buy one.

Hello @Sheali I already got them a top filter which was more effective. But maybe I will try another air stone to give this modification a try.
