A DIY aquarium water change system on a kitchen counter. A large black bucket on a stool is connected via a black hose to a bright green, planted fish tank. The hose is secured to the tank rim with a large clip, and the setup is powered through a smart plug on a wall outlet, allowing for automated water filling.
A top-down view of a planted aquarium setup showing an internal water filter being used as a pump. A black hose is attached to the filter outlet, looping out of the tank and down toward a large black bucket. The tank is densely packed with bright green grass-like aquatic plants under a high-intensity LED light.
A close-up side view of the internal pump mounted inside the top corner of a glass aquarium. The pump is partially submerged, drawing water from the tank to be sent through a black hose that arches over the rim. Below the pump, the tank is filled with a dense 'jungle' of bright green aquatic plants, and a white smart plug is visible in the background outlet, providing automated power control.
A high-angle, close-up shot looking into a black plastic bucket. A small, black internal aquarium filter is submerged in a few inches of water, serving as a transfer pump. It has white mineral deposits on its casing and a blue sponge filter attached to the intake. A thick black vinyl hose is securely connected to the pump's outlet, leading upward and out of the bucket.
Doing water changes in my #planted #shrimp and #fishtanks has never been easier than using this little set up with an internal water filter and instead attaching a hose where the aerator would go.
