Aquarium Top-Filter

thingiverse

HI! This is my first print I've uploaded here so far. Why I made this filter is because I created an aquarium. My very first one. I purchased 12 shrimps, but 7 of them died due to insufficient oxygen in the water :(. Initially, I had a pump just stirring the water, but that was not enough. I wanted the water to be filtered by some natural materials! My first design was an inside filter, but it did not stir the water at all, so no air entered the water. I changed the design, placing the filter body about 8cm above the water level! Now two small tubes guide the water jets into each other and the water stirs sufficiently. PRINT THE SMALL PLUGS TWICE! I chose Zeolith as filter material because it detoxifies effectively. I hope it will help some low-budget aquarians like me keep their shrimps/fish alive!
