Up flow it air collar issues.

We made the livestream! Look at us go. I got super hyped when I saw the syringe with the airline tubing pop up on the video, lol. 
 

Normally I just listen to the livestream while I’m driving for work. I’m glad I decided to watch some of this tonight!!

Excited to see the video when it’s done, @Cory. Agreed that the water looks awesome when it’s shooting out from all sides and colliding in the middle of the collar!

Also just wanna say that such a simple little DIY tool, and the knowledge of it existing, can help so many other people. The air collars and easy flow kits are incredible, so if more people know how simple it can be to keep those things going like the day they come out of the box, it’s better for everyone. Heck ya.

Sorry for the late reply. I love that we can crowd source the hobby. Just because I had a way to clean my collars doesn't mean it is the best way. Also I believe that the syringe method is so satisfying in video it'll help a lot of people when I eventually make it. I think the communities around aquarium co-op allow us to trouble shoot and move faster on products. It's nice to have a bunch of people around who care about the products 😉

Just to show how much the easy flow increases flow…

 

Top pic is the polyfill in a Lee’s medium triple flow box filter after running 1 week in my 17 gallon bowl. The air collar friction fits nicely to the top of the Lee’s medium.

 

amazing amount of mechanical filtration!

 

bottom pic is after I pulled the polyfill and cleaned it in water to re use..

wondering if syringe will work in tank?

As in, using the syringe in the tank to clear the collar? I’m sure it would, but I’m also not sure why you would want to. It’s super easy to pop off the collar and take it to the sink/take it to your cup of water.
