Today, we are going to turn a plastic Planter Box into a DIY Pond Filter with a spillway that you can easily make for any at home or indoor/outdoor pond. After completing outdoor decking, it was time to start building this diy pond filter with water fall so I could cycle the backyard pond and add some fish in coming weeks. This project took me couple of days to complete and I waited a week for everything to cure completely. Pond filter is powered by a 10,000 LPH pond pump and contains roughly around 24 L of bio media. Majority of the media is highly porous Seachem Pond Matrix. I also added Seachem Stability, bio balls and some other live bacteria to kick start the cycle.
Filter box is a 80cm planter trough with a pvc spray bar pipe. I have selected male and female adapters for both inlet and outlet connection of this over head filter. To hide the filter, I made a wooden planter box made of treated pine decking board. Timber was double coated to protect against moisture and help extend the life.
Pond water was crystal clear with in a week of installing this pond filter. However, this is still not a true test of the filter capacity as pond is under stock. With the help of bacteria booster balls and secheam pond stability, I am confident that pond filter will uphold my expectation.
Thank You
