                Man you are talking a minimum of 75 bucks to put one together. I am not ballin like Thai I am afraid I will have to leave the video to others. If I had the supplies I could just show a cut down sample but bdiamond and I split the costs and John provided the rest

                      This is where John gets his Carbon from .. they are here in Houston

                      Eden Equipment offers the highest quality, USA-manufactured, longest life filtration solutions providing clean air, water and other liquids on a reliable, sustainable basis that is safe and profitable for our customers.


                      Make sure you get exactly that. It takes about 5-6 lbs to make 1x 15ft 1.5" carbon filter. You have to buy it in bulk so you are looking at 5-6 snakes that can be made from one box.

                          Great post - got me thinking.
                          My fish room is 10 x 20' (old garage) and my incoming water is in one corner and I want to set up my betta baracks at the other end of the fish room. If I used a 4" PVC pipe mounted high on the wall and packed with carbon, how long do you think it would last if my flow rate was 50 GPH ??
                          'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                          He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
