I know that DIY tanks aren't any cheaper than purchasing one unless they're ~125+. Is there a similar limit on when a DIY cannister filtration system becomes cheaper than a storebought?

I've seen some neat home-made sumps...but never a canister. I don't even know where one would start. If you have tanks that are that big, it's time to go to a pond supply place for your hardware.

Tolak, that DIY link is pretty neat...but it sure looked like a lot of work!

The problem with diy cannisters is making sure the water flows through the media in the correct way and doesn't skip straight to the pump.
