Thank you. Actually not cheap for making this filtration. I diy it because I didn't see similar product in this market. Most of filter for small tank is not efficient, just like a toy.

Simple clean design, I like it. Last pic looks like you added an emergency overflow in case filter floss gets clogged (short segment of vertical pipe), is that correct?

Filter cotton is normally put in upper box as Physical filtering. So I put an emergency overflow just you written in case filter floss gets clogged .
