Plastic jar serves as a storage for all filter media while the power head is placed in aquarium without filter media. This aims to make it easier when cleaning or replacing filter media without disturbing the water and ornaments in the aquarium.

NOTE:
You can change all media filters and their arrangement based on your concept and your experience. If you want to try making this external filter, it must be considered the strength of the jar, strong glue and a good seal to prevent leakage.

On the market you might get quality filters at low prices. This is not a price problem but just sharing the experience of the experiment I did at home. Hopefully it can be useful.

Tools needed:
1. Electric drill and drill bit to drill or can use solder.
2. Cutter
3. Wrench

Materials needed:
1. Plastic jars (must be strong and leak-proof, not soft)
2. Verlop size 3/4 "drat outside 1/2" drat inside
3. Metal pipe fittings or plastic sizes 1/2 "- 16 mm
4. Sealtape
5. Amara SP1200 Power Head
6. Aquarium transparent pipe
7. Aquarium Pipe Connections
8. Super strong epoxy glue (optional)
9. Platic hose (optional)

Media Filter:
1. Bioring
2. Coarse Sponge
3. Medium Sponge
4. Smooth Sponge
5. Coral stone (preferably removed or replaced with other suitable media like lavarock) because my experience for freshwater filters is quickly clogged.
