Description
Aquarium biological filter using filament purge media
About
I've always thought PETG filament purge waste will make great bio-media for aquarium filters.
This model is an air pump driven filter that can be printed without supports and consists of only 2 parts. It is ideal for quarantine or smaller tanks.
Printing
- Use PETG for both the filter and the bio-media.
- Use good quality PETG to get a good print.
- No supports are required.
Assembly and Use
- Add a layer of rock gravel to the bottom of the filter, to weigh the filter down when underwater.
- Pack the filter full with PETG filament purge waste.
- Cap with the lid.
- Connect the filter using standard 3/16" / 4mm air tubing to an air pump.
- Note: After placing the filter underwater, please tilt the filter slightly to allow trapped air under the cap to escape.
- Tip: Run a blowtorch over the filament purge waste before use, to get rid of any fine strings.
