I have been kicking this idea around for several months as I have a 20 gallon IM Nuvo tank. My biggest issue is how to get the filter rolls down to the size I would need about 2” wide. Not sure how I could go about cutting rolls in half since I have yet to see fleece rolls that small in width.
I would look on ebay search "coolant filter paper" one or two companies sell on ebay shot them a message ask them if they would cut a roll down to the width you want.
I’m late to the party but I just had to say, very nice work!! I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between this one you made and a factory made roller filter.i would say its totally possible. To find a roller filter that would work with a AIO would be hard to find. most roller filter are fairly large and require some space. i wanted a roller filter on my tank 40 breeder with a 20 gallon sump i built my own roller filter its been working amazing till i had a Cerith snail made his way into the filter unit and clogged up the works. due to my design ill post some pictures. If your handy with a table saw and router table anything is possible.
So the snail fell into the filter and his shell wedge itself in the bottom of the roller. The
Filter need to advance the roll motor kicked on tried it best but it stripped the shaft that the waste roll is attached so im currently looking at making some adjustments to the design.
