Here is my diy 5 gallon bucket canister filter running off of a jebao/jecod dct 4000 roughly 1100 gph for my 125gallon tank
Note: got the idea from "the king of diy" on YouTube also known as Joey

I just love these behind the curtain shots. So pleasing, almost as pleasing as the fronts. But then again I am mechanically oriented spending much of my career in equipment rooms.

Sure Justin!
1st picture shows where the water from my 3000 gallon tank drains to. Which is the XXL Ultra Sieve where it gets pre-filtered, then I have 6x 275 gallon totes where most of the bio and mechanical action happens.
2nd picture depicts the view from the other end of the totes
3rd picture is of the Ultima II 10k and the UV that is run by a 3/4 hp pump

The 1st picture in this post shows the 2 pumps, a 1 hp baldor that runs my 3000 gallon tank and a 1.5 hp baldor that runs my 4000 tank.

2nd pic tells the story of what goes on between the totes

Coming soon: I'm currently building a filtration system for our little Koi spa conversion. As I sit in the pit I'm calling my filter house I've got one 30 gallon RFF for major sediment to collect. I am trying to decide if this spa is too small for the size of the barrels I using for a sump - 55 gallons. Now the biofilter is where I am dragging. I've got another 55 gallon HDPE barrel. I'm considering a moving bed bio filter, perhaps separating the bottom for K2 or bioballs (which I already have) and the top for a brush filter , JMat, Matala or something less expensive. I'm trying to keep the filter house small so it's easier to heat. It gets cold up here @ 7400' asl. I'm also going to do an in-line water heater and an insulated cover for Winter.

Dog is uninterested. Maybe I'll have better luck with the Monster Fish Keepers.

There is a 1" bulkhead in the bottom for clean-out.

The RFF is on the right. Nothing is plumbed yet, except for the dry fit stand-pipe skimmer and the SLO (solids lift outflow). They connect together in this setup and go into the RFF (radial flow filter).

This will be a pump in sump setup. I still need to find a place for the other 55 gallon barrel with the MBBF.

Serious system. What are those bulkheads 4"?
We have a category over in Backyardaquaponics called "Almost divorced"
