Do It Yourself Simple Aquarium Filter

By Mark Coleman - This fish tank filter works really well (I have a similar flower pot design) and is very cheap to construct. The diagrams are self-explanatory. When cleaning is due, the filter can be dismantled and reassembled.

Although the materials are inexpensive the principle is the same as many commercial box filters.

You could also adapt the filter design to use other materials that may be more convenient for you.
