I thought I'd share how I built my power filter for the grand total cost of $ZERO!
I had an extra Sicce 1.5 laying around along with 1" PVC. I drilled some holes in the PVC pipe, then I 3D printed an end cap for the pipe, as well as a fitting that goes from the pumps 1/2" female thread to my 1" PVC. Superglue it all together and WHAMO! A power filter!
Now I'll wrap it in filter mat and see how it does. It's a bit undersized for my system, but I'm curious to see what it does in conjunction with my filter sock that I already run in the sump.
I'll post pics as it runs. As well as a before/after of the water in the tank.
